Name: The Early Birds
Genre: Short, Animation

Duration: 2 min

Why is there no background for the characters to interact with? Anyways, not bad for a short film that I conjured up in 5 days to get into a festival. Honestly, getting this movie into that festival gave me the validation I eneded to believe I could be a filmmaker.

And how is the film? It's a disgrace to stop motion artists. Actually, scratch that. This movie shows just how good you have to be at stop motion to make it look good. This is bad stop motion. But I was 15 when I made it, so I'm not going too hard on myself.

My biggest regret is not putting a Wilhelm scream over the moment where a bird is getting beaten the hell out of. Besides that, it's whatever.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
