Kiwi!

My Master's Thesis Animation, which I completed while I was at The School of Visual Arts, MFA Computer Art, in New York City. Created using Maya, After Effects, and rigged using The Setup Machine by Anzovin studios. If you would like to download there is a small version at my website: www.donysanimation.com

The music is orginal and is by Tim Cassell, someone I went to highschool with. The music is available here:

Birds have to know how to fly. He tried to make his dream come true even though he would die. I always cry when I watch this. People sometimes give up so early when they meet troubles...

[ginwing]

After all these years I still get a little choked up when Kiwi sheds his tear. WELL DONE SIR!!

[UndertakerPlay]

I love it... that was totaly unexpected, he was doing all of that with the trees and things, to pretend to fly, saldly to his death D:

[pierreleponge]

i don't know what to say.. mh.. realize a dream is always something wonderful once we live it, even if everything have his price, for this kiwi, it was too expensive.. he realize his dream to live it..just once.. i wish that this species of bird could fly, with or without wings, this bird is a proof that the world never give gift, that the nature can be cruel.. if only things was easy... also..congratulation to the creator of the video, it was touching..
