Animation thesis project:
Birds Aren't Real


Intro
Marie the melancholic raven and Harold the brainlessly optimistic pigeon are sharing their laughter, when human activists in streets are rioting and believing the conspiracy that local city birds are governmental surveillance machines to spy on civil privacy instead of living, breathing creatures. Nevertheless, little did Marie know that she is going to inevitably question whether her own existence is truthful after a surreal substance-induced spiritual trip where she got reincarnated as a human living under the same nihilistic survival pressure as a wild bird, which sent chills down Harold’s spine when Marie questions: “Are birds truly real? Are humans truly real too? Does it even matter?”
