CGI 3D Behind The Scenes : "The Moa and the Harpagornis" - by Fido

Check out this revealing BTS for "The Moa and the Harpagornis" created by the talented folks over at Fido! They have created many feathered creatures through the years and that track record helped them secure some amazing sequences in Colossus Production"s groundbreaking factual entertainment production "David Attenborough"s Natural History Museum Alive", all made in stereoscopic 4K.
Fido was responsible for creating and bringing to life several extinct animals, including both the legendary Archaeopteryx and the iconic Dodo.
This is a look behind the scenes from their production of the two largest birds in the film: the enormous Moa and the impressive Harpagornis eagle.

I love to watch that BBC Documentaries, specially by the narration and the well designed CGS and stuff.

[@davidgrace4054]

How amazing it must have been for the people who saw these animals in real life.

[@kashmello]

Oh, I cannot get enough of this movie! The moa’s model and animation is gorgeous, and so is the Haast’s eagle! These two captivate me so dearly, and coupled with David’s narration, they really steal the show! Only thing I would have changed is having the moa boom and rumble instead of crying out the way it does. Other than that, 10/10 from your local paleontology nerd!

I've seen this whole movie in 3D in the Albaquereque museum of Natural history. It really is a wonderful program to watch if you have the chance

[@CJCroen1393]

Fun fact: The scientific name for the moa is "Dinornis", which means "fearfully great bird". The scientific name for the Haast's eagle, "Harpagornis", means "snatching bird".

[@fidelromanestanislao6069]

CJCroen1393 you're smarter than me.

[@bkjeong4302]

The Haast’s eagle is lumped in with Hieraaetus or even Aquila these days.

[@trcwarrior8237]

That birds huge

[@tonyantonellis9983]

i just saw this show today i and i love it so much because it has a great combination of paleontology and animation that takes your breath away. i wish to make Museum Alive 2 in a different museum like the Field Museum in Chicago

There’s no way this was 7 years ago! Man time flys by faster than a harpagornis.

[@lukemurray7219]

My dogs scared of harpagornis and now whenever I make a “Caw!” Noise he runs away.

[@outerrealm]

One minute and 47 seconds long? What good is that? Is it too many smart phone heads with 90 second attention spans? These 90 secont bits are a disgrace to the talent and legacy of Attenborough.
