Who is Piero?

Piero is a retired carrier robin who’s great achievement in life was  delivering messages to and from the feathered allies during the Great  Pigeon War of ’98. He’s since retired to a quaint Ash tree in the hills  of Yorkshire. Though very little happens during Piero’s care-free days  in the British countryside, trauma from his service in the war has left  him skittish of anything out of the ordinary.

From Vision to Animation

I think many digital artists, like myself, see animated films from  Pixar, Dreamworks, Disney or Blue Sky and they begin to invision their  own worlds, characters, and stories. Computer Graphics make it possible  for artists to bring these visions to life inside a tangible medium  that’s accessible to anyone with a computer.

However, the accessibility and capability of a computer doesn’t mean the  creation-process is a one-click operation. Taking a character from  vision to animated reality requires many devoted hours in each  discipline of computer graphics.
