Sick Puppy

Well, to all intents and purposes... its finished! The damned things finished!!

After all that... am I pleased with the results?
YES - Immensely pleased. I must have watched the finished film at least a dozen times and I still love it. Of course there are things in there that I can see need changing or polishing… but they’re inconsequential really. I really like the way that sound effects, music and editing bring all these disparate shots together to create something far, far better than anything I was expecting!

Like Ive said, Ive always been a big fan of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol… So I decided that it might be entertaining to tell a Sick Puppy version, with his uniquely cynical twist. I already had a large cast of supporting characters from the shorts I’d done. And I had a few sets I could redress and use again, so it seemed simple…

When Sick Puppy dies in a bar on Xmas Eve… you’d think it couldn’t get any worse. But when he finds himself confronted by a prawn headed flaming eyed DEATH, he realizes his problems are only just beginning. DEATH takes him on a journey… from Martian suicide bombers to the horrors of VietMars… from the gleaming heights of Pavlov’s bar to a shocking vision of his future. Sick Puppy must visit his past, his present and his future, and maybe… just maybe… discover the true meaning of Xmas.
