March of the Penguins

As you all know my animation is all about penguins, so it seemed fitting that I watch one of the best known documentaries of all time. Recently I purchased the DVD of March of the Penguins to form part of my research materials. It's probably the best source I can get without acually going to the South Pole (and I really don't plan on doing that!).

Having watched the film I can say my respect for these creatures, as high as it was before, has increased dramatically. It surprises me that they've not become extinct based on the hardships they have to endure. I really recommend watching it if you haven't done so already.

Anyway, looking at it specifically for my animation requirements the film provided me with reference materials for all of the Emperor Penguins I would like to include, and their movements.
