Yo I just noticed that the rhino is blind, I’m actually really liking how this looks now

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

Thanks for the responses everyone! To answer some of your questions, right now the full film is playing in film festivals, but it will get a public release on this channel sometime in the coming months. For more updates you can follow me on twitter: twitter.com/ArtOfAlexH

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

I'm glad I got you. You should work for Nerd Corps Entertainment because your artstyle looks similar to their works such as Storm Hawks and Slugterra.

[@mitchellulrich930]

So will this just be a Film or a TV series? Also, for clarification, this is the series that was successfully funded on Kickstarter correct?

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

@@mitchellulrich930 Right now it's a 13 min animated short meant to serve as a test pilot for hopefully doing more stories within this world. And yes, this was the final result of the kickstarter from last year

[@victor_anthony_tolentino]

That's so awesome! Hoping more friends will be joining the project, too.

[@karolinakuc4783]

@@AlexHendersonAnimation from that 13min you animated I learned that Rhino risks only for egg. It's because I assume he was friend with the bird's wife that died out of sudden.

[@wind369]

This looks insane I’m really hyped for the full animation

[@Skizzo321]

I gotta say, I am getting wonderful John Carpenter vibe from Josh's soundtrack.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

This NEEDS to become more than just a pilot. This would probably end up being one of the best KZbin animated series ever.

[@SeanTheWeak]

Wow heart attack jump scare..... I love it!

[@AdlerTheEagle]

AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS! I'm so excited to see it's going to so many festivals! Stoked to be part of this project and look forward to seeing where it goes!

[@jblask2]

I love the dynamic of a tough but blind creature being guided by a small one. And wonderfully animated and designed cahracters along with a awesome synth score? Sign me up!

[@maddog197x]

I instantly recognized Adler as Red, he and everyone else fit perfectly for their roles!

[@JDM_Score]

Thanks so much for letting me write the music for your AMAZING film, Alex! Can’t wait for everyone to see the whole thing! 🦏🪶

[@nas0518]

The animation in this looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest.

[@smat-guy3232]

This feels like a Don Bluth animation. Love it!

[@GarryDKing]

It's often overlooked that Rhinos have awful vision, so representing one as Blind works really well character wise.

[@YUN6_V3NUZ]

Rhinos actually have amazing eyesight, their vision is comparable to that of a cat's.

[@Wolf-vs6ur]

I love the added dynamic of the rhino being blind. I didn't even realize when I first watched some of the first trailers for this. Love everything you and your team has been putting into this and hope to see much more

[@Ani8900]

Please notify me on the full animation this is too good to be keeping me on the edge!!!!

[@WieldingEminator]

This could be the beginning of something great, even...legendary.

[@emilykearns3155]

I didn’t realize until now, that the Rhino is blind

[@WolfGodwin]

Incredible. It's got a borderlands vibe but definitely standing strong on its own. I hope someday to be able to animate on this level. Great characters and pacing and atmosphere!

[@tropeadope4532]

Woah this is really cool! I like the character dynamic with the redbill and the rhino. It's also really cool take on irl rhino's limited vision.

[@thekrakenexperiment280]

I need a studio to pick this up for a feature film or something cause wow I'm hooked!

[@ThirdStrongest]

Just like everything you make this turned out great! I am honored to be a part of it and I cannot wait for everyone to see the whole thing!!

[@ryancarless7921]

This looks incredible

[@RJ_Ehlert]

That's awesome!

[@ernovincze2900]

Looks great! I like how the hyenas are your typical wasteland scavengers.

[@ebraunstein8212]

Will admit, the moment they got snatched up by the rope trap made me jump out of my skin lol Absolutely amazing animation. Been following this project for a bit now and it has really come together.

[@nairocamilo]

Very atmospheric. Love the voices!

[@infermex]

This is incredible!

[@user-Sharkbait2000]

I can’t wait to see full this looks great. And it’s pretty cool of how you use irl facts into this animation. Rhino are indeed blind from afar irl. I dunno I just love it when Disabled people play main roles of the stories instead of side characters

[@Mabbitran]

I really hope this becomes available for purchase some day. I would LOVE to see the rest

[@gilbertotabares8196]

Impressive. You have my curiosity. I hope to hear more from you.

[@redricklupine6534]

Wonderful animation teaser short, Alex. Can't wait to see the rest of it soon. Excellent work!

[@TheRedGoon]

Hah, this animation is top notch as expected! Can't wait to check to see the full pilot when it's posted later!

[@ceezeeteez]

Man you deserve so many more viewers this is incredible!!!

[@Mate397]

Definitely made me curious to see the finished animation :D

[@Templarofsteel88]

After watching this, i really want more.

[@mix-up9003]

Looks very promising dude, best of luck to you dude

[@MortenEng]

Wooooow! Awesome! I love it! I can't almost wait to this.

[@VilSumWolf]

Very beautifully done, can't wait to see the full release in the coming months

[@Lovehandels]

Damn dude! I'm loving this! Good work!

[@landonn3362]

This is amazing!

[@Farnoggin]

I (Jay Coley) donated to the Kickstarter for this and was able to see the film early. To those who haven't seen it yet, I can say with confidence that it'll be worth the wait!

[@armorbearer9702]

The pilot is beautiful. I can see this appealing to a wide variety of audiences.

[@fatpanda360]

I can’t wait to see the rest of the pilot! It’s so awesome!

[@kevinobill4818]

I can’t wait to watch the whole pilot.

[@laimfunk]

Man I think I've been eyeing this project for years. Can't wait to finally see it, the visuals alone are incredible

[@zio_bear]

The hype is real!

[@mantisbsm9250]

Very promising ! I love it !

[@LemurFrenzy212]

Well, you set the scene, showed off character types, gave us a taste of the world they're living in. And the animation is top notch. Colour me intrigued! Subbed! :D

[@ottagol1985]

Worth every penny!

[@TheUberBadnik]

This looks so professional! I really hope this becomes a series. I think you showed just enough to make people interested, and I can't wait to see how this continues.

[@Articbear]

yoo this was really good!

[@CitrusArchitect]

Wonderful work! Only suggestion I have is to bump the voices up a little bit in the audio mix.

[@SebStudI0s]

Spot on and very suspenseful

[@furrealz6697]

ok, i've been waiting for this a long time. proud of ya!

[@CDAngelRocha]

I NEED MORE!!!!

[@balooeloso3674]

[@njfox3305]

Oh yeah I've heard of this one crazy junk dealer and desert zombies creepy well done

[@kilijshark7667]

A blind fighter rhino, didn’t see that coming

[@LuC-k777]

Yes

[@Havlock]

I keep reading "Redbill" as "Redbull" and having to mentally correct myself.

[@imapiggyfan1862]

Wow I like the ones with the masks I wounder why...I'm gonna be excited once it's out!

[@pencilhead9783]

I love it and I want to see more

What happened!? Is there anyone who's gonna save them? Either he "or she" would save them?

[@alexcanine4948]

cool

[@elperrosalvaje334]

I have a question about the type of animation it uses or the programs it uses because it captivates me

[@themaughan3378]

Is this for a short film or a fully cinematic movie?

[@lunkrhino4029]

Come on I'm not that blind, I know Rhinos have poor eyesight but I'm not completely blind

[@pakeshde7518]

Mind if I spread the word alex about this sneek peek?. I got a few conventions I will be attending/working do if you wont mind id spread the link to them.

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

Of course, by all means you're welcome to spread the link to this video. Thanks so much :)

[@pakeshde7518]

@@AlexHendersonAnimation Okay done spread to 16 fur friendly discord groups, will spread it to a few of the furcons I work at/attend as well. Btw the moreau series art you did I cant seem to find anyplace is it gone?. I remember the club zero one was especially good!. What about possibly being open to be a GoH nomination for a furcon in 2023 if you are into that sort of appearance.

[@AlexHendersonAnimation]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Not sure what you mean by moreau or club zero art, as I'm not sure what work of mine that's referring to. Maybe you're confusing me with somebody else? But yes, I'd be happy to be nominated for goh spots, thank you so much for considering me

[@pakeshde7518]

@@AlexHendersonAnimation okay I will mention you at the staff meeting this weekend if you want, we hoping to have our 2022 con after 2 years of the covids ;/. Yeah seems I have, I have some bad recall at times and my apologies, but I was sure you did some.

Sounds awesome, thanks again for thinking of me
