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:

Alot of people have been emailing me asking a whole lot of questions. Maybe you can find some answers here:

@Lightninstrike1 Birds are much lighter than humans. That's why they can fly. If a bird did that it probably wouldnt get its foot ripped off. I assumed that Kiwi was a flightless bird, like a dodo or something.

@NomalGuy369 Kiwis can't fly, and it was apparently his dream to do so. So he was trying to pretend he was flying, even if it killed him.
