Here is a breakdown of the process we went through to create the shot.
We used Yeti to create the fur and created the ground dirt effect by combination particle simulations with live action elements.

We spent a lot of time researching bird skeletons and anatomy to get the physical characteristics of the Robin just right.
It was a constant back and forth process between modeling, rigging and fur grooming.
To make the dirt and soil around the bird as believable as possible we made a small setup in our office and shot a lot a moving elements.
