James Gurney's pet budgie Mr. Kooks is a lively and constant companion for the artist during his many solitary hours at the art table, however during the shoot for this exhibition video, Kooks suddenly came down with a case of stage fright; the once animated chirping which is the bird's trademark ceased once all cameras were focused on him. The producer for the video solved the problem by editing in sounds he had previously recorded of Mr. Kooks during a different stage of filming- hence, movie magic!
