As you can see, we have not posted anything for quite a long time now, but no worries, we are still here and we still want you to tell us what you would like the characters to do next. You can watch the animation progress video to see how far we've got with the film.
Feel free to contact us by leaving comments or sending us e-mails. Thank you!
Cat's Animated Emotions
Animation Storyboard – Dog Plays with the Ball
We give you the promised insight into the animation process. Here you can see how Dog gets the ball and then tears it with its teeth. If you have any suggestions, you are welcome to post comments!
Dog uses its breath to suck the ball to itself. Cat is very astonished to see it.


Dog starts playing with the ball, throwing it from one hand to the other - juggling. Cat is slightly confused.


While keeping balance, Dog tries to hold the ball on its head. Cat, who is starting to get bored, rolls eyes.


Finally, Dog grabs the ball with its teeth and bites it. Can gets angry - one eye narrows, and pupils widen. Cat disappears behind the window.

Dog will bite the ball with its teeth
The voting is over! After a tense battle (8 votes :D ), we are happy to announce that the winning variant is the one with the dog biting the ball with its teeth. So that is what is going to happen.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in the poll. Right now we have decided that before the dog bites the ball it is going to play with it a little which will make the cat react showing different facial expressions.
We will show you to these actions in the next post where we will show you our ideas with the help of drawings to let you know what we want to introduce in the flash animation.
We keep working, and we are waiting for your suggestions.
Influence the animation - how should the dog destroy the ball?
We give you the opportunity to vote to affect the continuation of the animation. This time you have to choose the way the dog destroys the cat’s ball. Our variants are as follows:
- breaks the ball with its paws;
- bites the ball with its teeth;
- swallows it;
- digs it under the ground;
- other (write a comment).
You can vote for multiple choices. Voting is available for three days.
How should the dog destroy the ball?
Animation continuation - Dog sees the ball
We have finally moved further with our animation film. We have created a video of the dog seeing the ball that has previously been accidentally thrown out of the window by the cat. Noticing that the dog is staring at his ball, the cat gets mad because he has no idea what is going to happen next.
We do not know what is going to happen next, too, and will, therefore, give you a chance to vote for your favourite future scenarios as well as suggest your own. Soon the new poll will appear on the website.
In order to watch all the animation videos together, you have to see the progress video.

About animation process + see the reanimation process of the fly closer
We have decided to give you a closer look of the fly being reanimated as it is hard to see the process from afar. This will give you a chance to see the animation in greater details.
We are planning to make this kind of close-up look of movements in the main animation, too, to make the animation more dynamic, but we will do it when the main parts are drawn.
As another school semester has started, and we are still students, the animation process could slow down a little, but we will try to do everything as fast as we can.
We have made the possibility to share our posts with others using the social networks and emails that you use.

The fly gets reanimated
We are happy to show you the next part of the flash animation video we have started making, and, this time, the part has been made with your help. In this part you can see the fly being reanimated by two other flies. That is what you chose in the poll we made a few days ago. Though we are now sure what we should do about the smoke that appears after the reanimation process. We might change it.
We have also improved the background - the clouds are now moving in the video - and updated the progress video.
Now we are going to make an animation of the dog eating the ball.

Animation process continues - poll results
A few days ago we created a new poll asking you to vote for your favourite choice of the future destiny of the fly that crashed into the kennel. The given choices were: the fly gets eaten by a mole or by a reptile, it gets struck by a thunderbolt, it gets saved by 2 other flies and any other scenario of your choice.
The poll is now closed, and we are proud to announce that you have chosen the only positive scenario. The life of the poor fly is going to be saved! :)
As your work is now done, it is time for us to do something; therefore, we are currently working on the next part of the animation which is going to reflect the poll results.

Vote to decide the destiny of the fly
It’s about time we let you participate in the animation process. As you can see in the progress video, we have made the animation until the place where the dog wakes up after the fly crashes into the kennel, explodes and slides lower, but to make it all even more tragic, we should think of what could happen next.
The dog starts paying its attention to the ball, but, meanwhile, something else could happen to the bug. We have the following variants:
Please vote for the variant (or even more than one variant) that you like the most.
What should happen to the fly?
The dog starts paying its attention to the ball, but, meanwhile, something else could happen to the bug. We have the following variants:
- a thunderbolt, which appears from the clouds, hits the bug;
- the bug is eaten by a reptile, which appears from behind of the kennel;
- the bug is eaten by a mole, which suddenly appears from underground;
- a more positive scenario - the other flies go to the exploded bug and try to reanimate it, and it works;
- another variant that you can mention in a comment.
Please vote for the variant (or even more than one variant) that you like the most.
