2 Birds, 1 Whale: An Existential Story About Twitter
When Twitter–the popular microblogging platform–is down for the count (something that’s been happening a lot lately), they display a charming image of a whale being lifted by eight birds on their website. I think it’s quite lovely, in a surreal sort of way. And it always struck me as a bit existential. I started to wonder about those eight little birds, and how they must feel about their workload. So, I made this 2-minute video, which features the worst animation you’ve ever seen.

The dialog after they do the deed (don't want to post any spoilers) actually had me loling.
