I just watched this with my pet bird sitting on my shoulder. He nearly broke my eardrum chirping (more like screaming, on his part) back at the bird. He did not seem to care for the content, though - he ain't no dope. I love him, and Alfie here isn't too bad, either.

Great job!

I loved that original trailer for Birds the movie and this was a great idea.

Great Job! You nailed his facial features!

[xwolverine2]

how long did this take?

great work!

[zoetifex]

@xwolverine2, from concept to delivery was about 3 months. Animation process was about 4-5 weeks.

Glad you liked it!

[MrHitchcockFan]

Amazing work! Looking forward to more.

How do you animate these characters?

With what?

Is it a free program or something?

I would like to do a animation :)

[zoetifex]

@TheDreamingSleeper

The models were modeled in Autodesk's Maya and Luxology's Modo and the animation was done in Maya. These are not free and very expensive software (well, at least Maya is expensive). If you would like to get involved with animation, I would suggest looking into Animation Mentor.

Congrats! Love this. The way the bird looks over at Al--funny. and gets stuffed into the cage. Dig it! Well done.

[badturkali]

rear window was an excellent movie

[carolvarisco]

Al & the "bird", 2 very awesome animated characters. Anxiously awaiting the next episode.

[jimoco5]

Excellent animation! Loved the humorous content! Would love to see more.

[KENBECKERART]

I have to agree with Caroleanne, this is fantastic. Well executed for sure, but more than that, it's just fun to watch. You hit the right beats and maintained the flavor of the original while injecting your own spin on it. Really well done.

[Caroleanna26]

This is fantastic. Not only is the animation great but it's very humorous and I love the way the bird looks like Hitchcock. More, please.

[tazzmann7272]

Wow that guy Quinton.B is really amazing with texturing, love how this short is animated.

[slilov]

I like the way Al looks at the bird. You're getting better and better with these hardly noticeale nuances that really breed life into animation. Remember me when you win the Oscar - I like chocolate doughnuts.

How did you divide the shots among different artists? Did you get a ready-made model and setting and "just" animated the motion?

[zoetifex]

@slilov, There was so much that went into the making of this short. I plan on creating a video that shows how this short came to be and the process for producing it. I'm hope people find the story interesting.

Brilliant!
