CSI was back at Animal Makers once again.

Propmaster, Paul Byers called in a request for an attack eagle. The Animal Makers' crew pulled out an older eagle rig (originally built for the Drew Carrey Show), and refeathered it to look nice. The wings were rod controlled as was the body. Simple and easy to use rig. There were only a few days to respond to CSI, so the work had to literally happen overnight!
