anyone else get bothered by the way flying animals, specifically small birds, are animated flying? like when i watch them i keep thinking things like “he keeps forgetting to open his tail” and “he is flying unbelievably slowly for his build.” this happens most commonly in 3d animation. like i absolutely understand that bird flights may be more difficult to animate and most animators and companies have neither the time nor budget to make sure their flight animations look crisp and natural. and sometimes it’s necessary to alter a bird to look better on screen. its just kinda funny to me how those animations in particular are almost always a weak point in a film.
my point isn’t that companies need to pay more attention to this, my point is that, as an aviankin, it’s particularly obvious to me when a bird animation doesn’t make sense with their flight path and im just wondering if anyone else has had the same thought even if you don’t have a flying kintype or even any kintypes.
