Final Animation

Final Progress Checkpoint and Rough Artist Statement

Artist Statement Rough

The animation [title] was inspired by stories told by a woman who used to work for a city morgue. She was responsible for bagging corpses and transporting them to the freezers. Her brief employment provided her with many sad, gruesome and disgusting stories, one of which provided the inspiration for this animation. A dog won't always be your best friend, especially when food is scarce.

The dog and the doughnut were solely animated in Flash and every thing else was animated with the magic of Aftereffects. Raster and vector based images were chosen for their dynamic appearance when combined, as well as to make the characters more pronounced against the busy environment.
