Nonetheless, animation or not, it would *still* be interesting to see more
accelerated footage of sheep flocks in motion to look for the phenomenon I

Yeah, some "fake animation." But I've seen sheep dogs do jaw-dropping things
with a herd when the only command is the shepherd's long-distance whistling.
Ergo, I think it may well be less than 90% animation.

pretty cool idea even if 90% of it is fake animation. It should work as a
