Kiwi!

Back



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: http://donysanimation.com/01KiwiThemeA.mp3 http://donysanimation.com/02KiwiThemeB.mp3 Alot of people have been emailing me asking a whole lot of questions. Maybe you can find some answers here: http://www.isfat.com/happyjunk/kiwi.php Everyone thank you so much for your compliments and kind words! http://www.savethekiwi.org.nz Rate Kiwi! on IMDB! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1051713/

WONDERFUL!!! Really! He was nailing ALL that trees on the ground to simulate A FLY (Kiwis can't fly - it's one of the reasons he put out his arms ). Fantastic! His dream was to fly and it's the last thing he do in his life! BUT childrens want to see he still live
