Kiwi!
By
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.

Aww! That's so adorabile! Did I spell that right? Anyway! I thought Penguins would be more like that then this little bird.

I cant help but admit i laughed when i heard the sound of him hitting the ground. it really killed the moment.

the kiwi definitely died and he knew he was going to, just to clear that up. he'd rather fly and die, than live without flying.

I don't take meds
but I think I need some after watching this

@Crystarandbenji He was born without wings, so he can't fly. But being a bird, it was always what he wanted to do more than anything. So he nails a bunch of trees to the side of a cliff, and then jumps off the cliff, and from his perspective, it feels like he's flying. He died, but he got to achieve his dream.

hold on —wait one cotten picken minute
He pulled a hammer and nails out of his Butt at :58 seconds?!!
But he couldn't pull a parachute out of his butt before he hit the ground?

It is absolutely irrelevant whether he died or hit the ground or whatever after living his dream FULLSTOP

aww is it just me or did this video just ruin ur day?
September 13th, 2010 at 4:14 am
Aww

If Kiwi didn't die, what else is he left to do with his life? His whole goal and purpose was to fly. Once he does that, it's like he is dead anyway.. Living without a purpose almost seems worse than dying achieving your goal.
I'm proud of and happy for you Kiwi!
