Once he got on the ground I was wondering how he was gonna get back up. And the little twitch, perfect touch. I love the dark humor in this. It's those who can harness the gory details of life in a creative way that scare me the least in this world of ours.

Bird 1 dies. Bird 2 is traumatizatized. Bird 3 is left all alone in the next, and too scared to even think about trying to fly down.

Don't worry. It's just my dark and twisted sense of humour, but in reality I am a very sane and caring person.

Wow, stunning animation and artwrok like "Tires and Politeness" though I didn't think it was as funny as tires and politeness though. Given now we all know why you don't try leaving the nest until you actually know how to fly

This is an amazing film, but what happens next?..Does the little bird every leave the nest? Does the blood covered bird ever recover? Or do they both just stand there and die in their spots? WHAT HAPPENS?

What do you think?
I have my own idea, but I don't like to tell others what to think (maybe the sequel will come some day?)

Holy shit! Well, I must say that was rather unexpected. The childish kind of theme just went out the window.

Do you say it as something good or bad?
I take it as something good because it was exactly my intention (to create a strong contrast between the topical light childish innocence and the roughness and tragedy of growing up and facing the real world), but maybe you were disapointed after expecting something else...?

feawen [2008-01-04 14:46:07 +0000 UTC]
Haha disturbing!
The thing that bothers me thought, is the general timing of the animation. It is too slow. Timing is something hard to get and people often animate too slow. Just that in mind next time you animate (if you were the animator?)and there will be a greaaat difference you'll see.

mayec In reply to feawen [2008-01-04 20:56:52 +0000 UTC]
Thanks for the comment on the animation.
I did animate some shots (the most complex ones), but not all. It's far from being my best animation ever, it's full of flaws... but it's almost 3 years old. i've learned a bit since then .

Yeah I saw just after posting the comment that you also did the other chameleon guy . I saw that your animation improved a lot then!

I can't have a kid right now especially a bird. I can't eat worms then throw them up again, that's just gross behavior for a human.

I was not expecting a cute little bird to splat all over it's brother/sister! Nice twist though!

Just what we wanted. We set up that cute childish cartoony beginning to take away any expectation of... what really happens to many young birds who try to fly for the first time and don't make it. Life's hard... and full of contrast .

Yikes! It reminds me so much of my swiftwater rescue training, when it was our job to hurl ourselves into a not-so-safe situation. We were in whitewater like the little bird was in the air, you've got the basic knowledge of how to flap your wings, but you'd better hope they hold up in flight!
Great film, the animation was well done and the many layers of interpretation show the thought you put into it.

Thanks. Like I said before, I love to see people relating my films to their own personal experiences. I'm glad you overcame that test of life successfully.

It's nice to know that you related to the character, and that you understood my message so well. Many people don't go beyond the superficial dark humour of this film, but I always try to add more levels to my stories. Here of course, as you understood so well, it's about that common fear of taking a big step in your life... the fear of growing up.

SALioness In reply to mayec [2007-12-03 12:32:33 +0000 UTC]
^^ thats the worst fear tho..to grow up since most you know seem to think such things comes naturally which it doesnt.. and i do love your deep thinking of making your movies. Then when the birds comes out adorable is just a cute bonus..

Thanks.
I just looked "cippy" up in the dictionary:
A city dwelling hippy. Cippies(pl.) can often be classified based on their extreme desire to live in areas of the city they can not rationally afford. This leads to the majority of their income being spent on rent, with little going towards personal appearance(clothing) or other general life priorities.
??? I'm lost here...

ahahaha i'm sorry, but it's normal that you cannot understand...i've been implicit... i've only made a world with what in the reality is the sound.. in italian we said that birds make this sound, "cip"... as the dog makes "bau" or the cat "miao" or the cow "muuuu" an so on.... it's like an onomatopoeia...!!
with cippy i wanna only say "that animals that make cip"
Sorry if i'm so writhed
i hope you can understand though my english is awful!
