Very Very Early Animation Experiment with Pollo

The video below is a very early test to see whether we could work out how to make a stop motion film. We wanted to see if we could make Pollo walk and how it would look when his eyes were animated. Something went a bit strange with the noise so you can turn that down but it kind of sounds like an old silent movie reel!
