James Baxter writes: "I had the pleasure of going to Italy a couple of weeks ago to do an animation workshop for Nemo Academy in Florence. It's a great school and they are such lovely and generous people. I roughed out the first version of this test during the workshop and then I tied it down later when I got home.
The sound is Roberto Benigni from "Life is Beautiful" and he says, "Guardate che roba! Cartilagine mobile! Pieghevole! Trovatemi du (due) orecchi più belli di questi, e io me ne vado per carità!" which translates in English to, "Check it out! Movable cartilage! Bendable! Find two ears more beautiful than these and I'll leave!" .
