Animator: Jay

Description: A pigeon breaks in and acts like he owns the place; the real question is, how do you get him out?

Stop-motion using paper cut animation and a sock/ball armature with 3D-printed replacement mouths and hands.

Experience: 5yrs~ for fun/education, 26wks dedicated to stop motion

Time taken: 2 days animation, 1 day compositing, 2 weeks making set/props/character

Richard Adams:

The mixture of a stop motion human and a 2D pigeon doesn't quite work. Above average animation for stop motion, though. Top 25% IMO. You put a lot of work into this, and it shows. I like this!

Annessah Ramsey:

the amount of respect I have for stop motion is through the roof this is incredible

Jay:

To give myself feedback, I'd move the human character less when the pigeon is talking and change the camera angle slightly to increase focus. Overall, I think it reads well, but I'd also want the human poses to be stronger in places to improve the energy.
