In order to give the sandpipers and other birds visible in the background a realistic look, Barillaro and the short animation team visited beaches in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as the Monterey Bay Aquarium to study their appearance and behavior. Excited, Piper overcomes her fear of water and learns how to catch the large bivalves when they are exposed underwater, catching enough to feed her entire flock.Īlan Barillaro used new, cutting edge technology to create Piper over three years. However, this time the crab tells Piper to open her eyes, allowing her to see large bivalves exposed by the wave. While she is watching the crab, a large wave comes in and submerges her. Soon, she is compelled to return to the shoreline by her hunger and notices a hermit crab digging in the sand. The incident leaves Piper terrified of the water and she refuses to leave the nest. However, she fails to pull away in time and is soaked wet by the incoming surf.
A baby (named Piper) is taken to shoreline by her mother so she can learn how to find her own food. A flock of sandpipers is hunting for food at a seashore by searching for bivalves exposed by receding waves and running away when the wave returns.
