In the shadow of the Thunderbird

This is an old video I made quite a while ago. I made it in about a week of my spare time. This little film consists of a whopping 18 drawings, and was made with extreme animation limitations in mind.
I like this little film, it's far from perfect, but it says a lot about who I was when I made it. I wan't thinking x files when I made it, but it sure screams x files. :P Thank you for putting up with my scattered thoughts on this video.

Thunderbirds lived on the carcasses of dead buffalo left on American prairies. They used updrafts from midwest thunderstorms to fly to great heights and soar great distances, migrating with the changing seasons. When the white man wiped out the buffalo herds, the thunderbirds began to prey upon the native american children, picking them up and dropping them to stun or kill them. The tribes were forced to hunt down the nests and destroy the thunderbirds & their eggs to protect their children.

The thunderbird did exist. It went orry about your dog. The thunderbird was a condor and it surprises me that your dog was attacked as the condor was a scavenger not a rapture.
