This animation illustrates how ancient birds may have developed the ability to fly, based on research from Ken Dial at the University of Montana. The main character in the animation is based on Archaeopteryx, the earliest known ancestor to birds, although its flight capabilities remain a topic of study.

To bring the animation to life, a special rig was created for the character. I built a unique bone armature, rigged it to a low-poly mesh, and animated it. A forest environment was meticulously crafted using low-poly assets, with the final touches added using Adobe After Effects.

This animation is a humorous take on the function of alcohol dehydrogenase, whose core function is to process alcohol molecules.
