Making Of:
No doubt one of the most convincing April Fool stunts ever committed to video, this viral raised the profile of the BBC’s iPlayer among millions of web viewers – many of whom now believe penguins can fly.
The clip is part of a 50-year annual tradition at the broadcaster for producing mischievous stories to mark the first of April. The Passion Pictures team started by trolling through hours of penguins and other seabird footage from the BBC archives and ultimately based the fictitious flapping on the flight
characteristics of the guillemot. Visual Effect done by The Mill and Passion Pictures using tools like Maya, XSI and Flame.
