VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
ANIMATION DESCRIPTION:
Pretty simple thematically. Hope you enjoy it. 
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:
Everything in here was created from scratch by my own hand from splines.  I must disclose that
I was guided in the creation of a giraffe by a tutorial in the book that comes with the 
software. I only followed the tutorial in the creation of the spline-based model.  It was
great fun to learn and since I spent most of the past two months mastering the software, 
I'm sorry I don't have much of a story to tell you. I was pleasantly surprised to get this
far before the deadline.
