Project Pigeon: The Peculiar Pilots of WW2 depicts a little known story involving the marriage of scientific research and natural instinct. Renowned behaviourist B.F. Skinner came up with the unusual idea to recruit pigeons for the war effort. This 2 minute animation tells their story of how these improvised pilots were trained and why the mission never got off the ground.
This project has been recognized for the RGD Award for Motion Design 2024
