Bird of Prey Animation Short Film

In a desolate desert, two desperados prepare for a duel in classic western style under the blazing sun. The stake is a bag with valuable contents. Eyes leer, foreheads are beaded with sweat. Who will be the fastest shooter?

I absolutely love the misdirection you did on this film. From the classic eye opening shot to be converted to an open bag to the bird being roasted; loved it all! ❤❤

[KodyaxDerschrecken]

OK, I love the twist, nice way to set the genre on its head

[VibingColors]

Dude the angular and soft round design choices plays really well with sweet twist at the end!

[thakonwitwechpiat]

The twist ending is funny and brilliant. That’s why all dangerous animals step away from these gunslingers except the vulture.

This definitely gives me a samurai jack vibe, but the character designs are more detailed but still stylized.

[AbrahamMast]

Amazing! Love the animation and the animation style, stunning! Also that aspect ratio change was a nice touch!

[me-rwcj]

I would watch a whole movie in this style! Both the animation and the story are very well done

[SwissGoblin]

Awesome Stuff right here! Love how the Aspect Ratio just gets smaler and smaler! :D

[acewatcher]

Ah you got me i thought they were in a duel so they can get the money bag, but it wasnt

[andrewbasa]

These guys were smart. They made look like that one of them was about to be shot just lure their real target to them.

[tardismole]

Haha! I love it. Never would have guessed that outcome.

[SharonBoddy]

Fantastic, even if it is biologically incorrect. The one bird you shouldn't eat is a vulture -- it's Nature's hazmat specialist.

[XAVIERCUERVO]

GREAT animation
i did see it coming though

[LyllianaofMirrah]

damn kinda reminds me of red harlow's cartoony feeling

[alexanderd]

This is so cool - what's your frame rate p/s?

[bartmanfantanfart]

Be rooting, be rooting, but most of all be kind

[ИосифКартофил]

It's a hungry world. 🥞🍗🍗. I'm sorry for the vulture. Really. 🎸🍗

[buddhikap]

Identify the vulture and kill him in unity. Vulture is the predominant danger, not the seemingly enemy.
