No competition for Pixar, but how else is a guy supposed to waste time? This short sketch journeys into the avian kingdom to see what happens when the bright and the...less bright...happen to be friends.

cute little animation.

a few suggestions.

one, create the quicktime with internet streaming avaibale so we can watch while we download.

two, try to see if you can turn on anti-aliasing in your renderer

three, give the text frames some more time. I had to pause the movie to read em.

So what program did you model this in? I've been a 3D Max guy for the last two years myself, although now that maya is on os x I'll prob pick it up once i get a powermac tower.

keep up the good work

You know, this is just something I did a couple of months ago; I'm not sure I actually even have what I need to go back and redo it. I appreciate the changes, since I'm planning on some sequels and I'll design them with the feedback in mind. For this one, though, you can enter it as is.

Very cute. I like how you intergrated modern animation with old silent movie titling
