Production Blog- 30/4/2018 Crit: Peer Feedback on development of animation

Amends made since last crit

  • Foreground elements added in second shot. (Bushes, flowers, plants etc...) Frame seems much denser now/visually appealing. 
  • Monsieur Sausage now passes a menu in braille to the woman when he sits her down to communicate to the audience her blindness.
  • More detail (linework) added to insert of the dead dog. 
  • More blood added to chopping scene. (Moves with his arm)
  • Placeholder spaghetti replaced with painted spaghetti.
Crit feedback
  • Menu Monsieur Sausage passes is too small.
  • Second time we cut back to the boy while MS is chopping up the dog too similar to the first.
  • Continuity: Which side of the table is the dog on when it dies? (Make this more clear)
  • More frames needed for when MS is grinding up the dog.
  • Meat grinder too close to the camera in the shot. (Can't see sausages coming out of it.)

Production Blog- 16/4/2018 Crit: Peer Feedback on Animatic


  • A lot of empty space to the sides of the frame in second shot of the animation. Perhaps add foreground elements (bushes, fencing, flowers etc...)
  • Unclear as to whether woman is blind. Incorporate walking stick, darker sunglasses maybe?
  • Close-up of dead dog not gross enough. Needs more detail; e.g flies on the body, stink lines, denser linework, more discoloured features etc...
  • Monsieur Sausage should hold his arm further back to emphasise anticipation when he is about to cut up the dog.
  • Dog's bones are too small/not needed. (Remove or enlarge)
