Hello all!
Super epically excited to announce that Bird World has been selected for the animated film category of Festival Premiers Plan D'Angers!
This is an excellent festival for 'Bird World' to be in, and am very much hoping to be there come January.

About BirdWorld
So its been a long time coming, but I can finally announce the imminent release of BirdWorld, my National Film & Television School grad film. It's been an amazing and crazy year, and I've been absolutely privileged to work with such an amazing crew!
And here is the trailer:
BIRD WORLD Trailer
2012 6 mins 30 secs Colour Dolby Digital
Mixed Rotoscope & Key Frame Animation
SPARROW is struck by a plane and lands wounded in a mysterious city inhabited by anthropomorphised birds.
With the chaos of urban life all around him, Sparrow goes on a heady journey of self-discovery and is faced with a choice: should he follow his natural instinct and flee, or adapt his nature and embrace city life.
This animated short with its distinctive illustrative style is a seductively immersive experience about our unnatural love affair with the city. A film for anyone who has ever lost him or herself.
