Can't believe you actually killed off a major character and didn't bring them back, it's not what I expected from a short like this but it was a pleasant surprise, especially seeing as it genuinely contributed to the plot and wasn't there for shock value or cheap sympathy. Goes to show that you can still tell just as impactful of a story and have a happy conclusion

i still don't get the pont of making a female and a male. Like my comment says, all pelicans look the same. If you wanna make the two cifferent why don't just give one a scar or something like that ? It's not just about stereotypes you know?

Thank you for all your amazing comments! I’m so pleased it has suddenly found an audience on KZfaq. This is just the motivation I need to keep going on the long journey of completing my next short film. Possible spoiler alert: - - If you’re wondering what happened to the female pelican, in my mind she was injured (not dead). Now she’s being rehabilitated in a wildlife sanctuary. I probably should have put a clue to this in the credits but will definitely put an easter egg for this in my next film.

I study birds, here are the species based on my studies. -Australian Pelicans(Both Male and female) Because they have the iconic S-shaped neck when flying, and obviously because of their gular pouch. - Cormorant(Black Bird), because cormorants cant fly, and swim to achieve food such as fish. They also sunbathe by spreading their wings and standing still.😊

@jaguarlegoanimations9826 Жыл бұрын

Comorants can fly just as well as your average pigeon. Not tryna be rude but i don't think you study birds if you don't know that...

@owlspirited Жыл бұрын

@@jaguarlegoanimations9826 Yes that indeed is correct, they CAN fly as well as a pigeon. They flap alot more often(to gain medium speed) and alot of young adults have a minimum amount of wing feathers which means they don't fly very well like most seabirds do. Sorry if I wasn't being too specific on the comment. Just wanted others to know that they don't fly as good as an average seabird.

The main character was a cormorant, which was amazing. In my opinion, all birds are underrated. We don't get movies and TV shows about birds often, and rarely do we ever get one that decipts birds realistically. I always find that in bird movies and TV shows they mostly go with some stereotype when they are writing the bird such as getting the beak color wrong (a lot of birds have gray beaks but they make them yellow) or they make the birds live in their nest year round, or the worst stereotype BY FAR is the one that DOMESTIC CATS are totally a natural predator to birds, they are actually an invasive species.
