An animation made with manual sculptures and Photoshop techniques. All the audiovisual content in this case is of my complete authorship (the human is the only sculpture that I did not model). I stress that I took some inspiration from the fantastic Dane Pavitt's video ( • CENOZOIC BEASTS | Anim... .
It's about predatory and/or scavengers mammals, terrestrial, now extinct from all over the world, from the Cenozoic Era. The beasts advance in front of an average stature man,
appearing in approximate chronological order. The geological epochs are indicated below, along with some phrase that could give an idea of the predominant carnivores.
It took me time to research the most appropriate and convincing size, weight and appearance of each animal, and especially the geological moment in which it lived. Of course, any respectful discrepancy or sugerence is welcome. Anyway, I hope you interest in this video and like and comment!
