Storyline

I've just realized we haven’t posted the film's storyline so here it is:

Rodney is a senior scottie dog who finds himself the victim of his young human companion’s birthday gift.  As the boy tries to work out how on earth he is meant to play with his new toy, Rodney’s curiosity puts him in danger of getting in the unpredictable toy’s way. Will the boy find out how to play with his new toy? Will Rodney finally be left alone by the menacing toy so he can live out his old age in peace?

Rough mesh for Rodney

This first mesh was fairly simple to make, i'll add more detail and hopefully finish painting weights in the next couple of days. I'm having a fair bit of trouble painting the weights on his legs, as i've made them really short. Fingers crossed I can get it working soon.

Concept for Rodney, the dog character.

Dogged - good to go!

It's official, we've well and truly started creating our film. We're now part of the way through pre-production and things are coming together nicely. We met with Priscilla today to discuss our script and she's given us lots of things to consider before the next draft is written up. Things are looking good!
