Production

After Christmas i was having personal problems and production slowed down. It was only near the end of January that i was able to concentrate on my work. Realizing i wouldn't have enough time for my original idea, i came up with a new idea. An idea which shows the playfulness of the small Puppy.

First coming up with a short showing how a puppy reacts to a ball.


Then i thought to show a more comedy side to the puppy and have him frustrated by a ball which wasn't leaving him alone, and i tested a small run cycle.


And while i was thinking of the right short story i wanted to do i did some run and jump test's


And experimenting with different views and how the body changes


With a Basic Model sheet of what the characters face should look like, and giving him a name Pheobus.


I liked the detailed version of the puppy but they weren't clean or attractive to be as a viewer so i went and drew a cleaner version of the puppy


I was inspired by the "Mini Dachshund Puppy v mirror" clip which was on youtube;
And came up with a small short film involving a Puppy and a Mirror called 'Me and you'
"Me and You"
A small short which shows a puppy, wondering though a room until he sees himself. Confused he begins to believe his reflection is a friend. The viewers will believe he is playing with his reflection, near the end of the short his reflection turns out to be another puppy imitating him. Leaving them both confused.

Here is the First rough storyboard


So them i made a cleaner version of the Short.

Finally getting the story done, my tutor advised me to try and improve my designs of the puppy


This is the lastest Animatic
