I just keep watching this again and again, and I'm so psyched by all the buzz it's getting.
So much good stuff coming together here. The animator Drew rocked the HELL out of the move, and as I said before the painter Robyn turned it from a goofy looking puff bird into the awesome thing you see here. John Oliver's line read is hilarious, as are the reactions from Donald Glover and Chevy Chase. The sound design is perfect, and the idea of inserting a freaking pterodactyl into the middle of a Christmas fantasyland is pure genius.
None of that is me, but I did crank that puppet into being in two and a half days; I sculpted the head and cut the shape of the wings and fashioned its giant talons with my little handsies. And I'm pretty proud of myself.
