CGI 3D Animated Short Film: Beaky Blinders Animated Short Film by Mark Mullan, Aisling McElroy, Aimeé Kirkham Priester, Edward Boyle, Blayne Fitzpatrick, Yazz Herron & Darcy Burrows at Ulster University.
A Belfast pigeon named Eileen goes in blind pursuit of some grub in a drive-thru restaurant, comically protected by fellow biddies, Maggie and Esther, in her perilous endeavour.
Produced by animation students from Ulster University as their graduate film, we aimed to create a quirky film that drew inspiration from traditional cartoons such as Looney Tunes, and more contemporary late nineties/early noughties shows from Cartoon Network such as Ed, Edd n’ Eddy. Animated films have scarcely emerged from Northern Ireland, we hope to open the eyes of the world to the comedic backbone of Northern Ireland, and cast a light on the emerging generation of animators that are beginning to find roots in the industry here.
