It goes very quickly and is maybe not too obvious or clear to viewers what is actually going on. The narrative I tried to put in this film was most likely far too complicated for a 20 second film! Hopefully the film explains itself but just incase viewers are confused (and I wouldn't blame them!!), then here is the reasoning - a brief synopsis of the film:
The dog is in an inventor's studio where a "tea making machine" is being built. The dog wants the rubber ball on the shelf so jumps on the shelf which sends the ball flying. The ball then hits the tea-making contraption which is only a 'work in progress', therefore the ball breaks the machine/ sends it into havoc as it is not yet finished or trustworthy! The tea tray hits the old piano which then wobbles and the piano wheel (which is supposed to be unstable in the first place) gets forced off only then to fly across the room like the original rubber ball and cause more havoc. In the end the room is somewhat destroyed by the sequence caused by the dog and the original rubber ball (which then bounces back over to him at the end of the film, the dog having forgotten about it in the midst of chaos). The dog is happy at the end because he is rewarded with a rubber ball and a tin of biscuits, ignoring the room that is now in a total mess!
Anyway I hope you enjoy the very short animation! It was a lot of fun to make, and I learnt much from this project again.
Lastly, here are some photos for those non-animation folks to see a little of what it is like making the animation. Here is a photo of the lightbox where almost all my drawing was done and a photo of all the sheets of paper that made up the finished animation!
