I used a very personal story of mine as a starting point for my short film story. Then from that I decided, with the help from my teacher Aden Scott and Jeff Jackson, to tell the story from the dog's perspective.
Here it is, be sure to turn on the sound ;)
This project marked a lot of firsts for me:
- Animating a Dog/quadruped
- Animating 2 characters in one shot
- Dialogue (even though it's just one word) lol
- Working in Flash
- creating character designs
Below is some of the character designs/studies I did before starting to animate. Because I was struggling animating in Flash, the designs became a looooot more simplified and rough. Animating a dog was very complex and didn't feel comfortable caricaturing it before understanding the body mechanics yet.
I definitely see a million ways to improve but overall I'm proud of all that I learned from this and how it turned out. I'm also incredibly thankful for all the help from all my friends/classmates and teachers for pushing me!
Sweet Argo and sweet Diana! You captured a wonderful memory perfectly!
