This group of giraffes really know how to put on a show! The incredibly realistic clip stars acrobatic giraffes doing impressive somersaults and tucking in their long necks off a high diving platform into a large aqua blue pool below. Their aerial flips look professional and merits perfect ten scores all around, from difficulty of jump to execution. Their jumps are made even more dramatic by the fact that one suspended giraffe is helping them get more air and launch off.
That one is lowered from the ceiling strapped in by all four hooves, the jumpers run towards him and they connect at the neck, using them and their momentum to fling their bodies even further off the platform. The grand finale is a spectacular display of tumble work with 2 platforms and 2 hanging helpers flinging off the others in unison. The group even stand along the pool and take a bow before the impressive finale!
The animated short featuring the gentle giants was created by Nicolas Deveaux, who also drew on inspiration from an earlier project which featured an elephant jumping on a trampoline. The unique and fun take on the world’s tallest animal is delightful to watch.
It is even somewhat accurate in that giraffes really do need to spread their front legs awkwardly out to the side in order to drink water or reach their heads to the ground. Some people have even commented that they thought it was real! Check it out and see it yourself. Enjoy!
