3dWorld has the scoop on an excellent short VFX film called ‘Bird’ made by a team of students from the Savannah University of Art and Design.  A nice combination of live video and CG, all put to an eerie song by A Decent Animal.

Matching live-action characters with organic CG-effects, including head pieces attached to the human character, and the titular Bird, Balcombe explains his approach: “I have always been intrigued by films that combined live action footage of organic subject matter and then enhance it with computer generated media to create something totally new.”
