Throwing a Bone

This project, entitled Throwing a Bone, is a short animation depicting a man tossing a bone to his pet dog. Taking inspiration from various audio walks studied throughout the duration of class, as well as animated short films from the 1960s, this project uses sound effects mixed in differing ways as a means of conveying a narrative, that being a man, his dog and their relation to a specific space where they have spent much time in. The visuals throughout most of the animation are limited, rarely exceeding white outlines over blank backgrounds to depict characters as well as the special perspectives. The purpose is to represent how in tune the man and his dog are with the space that they are in, to the point where they are familiar with almost every detail.
