Really hope you can post the finished ad here.
I really hope they go with my work.
Its a tough business and scoring the job is always a challenge.
To be honest, the Client (Production company) was contacted by their client (disclosed as i cannot say) to “shop” around for someone (Me) to supply them with the character. Since i last spoke with Production, shooting was supposed to of happened 4th November.
They contacted me two weeks before the shoot but i said id need four weeks min. Anyway, they haven’t been in contact since and so i thought id prepare for it anyway… From my own pocket. 
I chose to do this for several reasons:
1: This is the 2nd time this production company has called me to supply a bird for them. And on both occasion’s their deadline for shooting is very minimal. As most of them are! 
And so i thought id prepare for next time, but 'if they do have a late shoot for this one ill then be ready.
2: Im addictied to 3D Printing and CAD designing! 
I did watch it at home, very nice…!!!
I always wonder how the actual animal would react to its animatronic equivalent…
haha, i had the exact conversation today with a work colleague. Im very interested to take it to a wildlife sanctuary at some point.
haha, another:
animatronic “cockatoo” voiced by Jemaine Clement causes chaos at Kew Gardens and hidden cameras record people’s reactions.
