A cut-out photo animation depicting what your dog would be talking about if he was down the local with his mates.


This film was chosen to be part of the BBC Summer of British Film (shorts): Comedy season. Watch more SOBF: Comedy shorts on film network.
short fact
Baby dog is cut out photo animation to real conversation. So its a real life pub scenario amplified by being animated with dogs.

12Foot6 are a small animation studio based in London. We animated Modern Toss Comedy Lab for Channel 4 and are now working on the series.

Have created tiles sequence for Honey Bunny (a short film for Coco de Mer), I’m Spasticus (C4) and several others. Produced ads for likes of Virgin Mobile and Virgin Atlantic.

    Parts of this were really nice, but it was disappointingly short - it would be great to have a series of conversations one after the other to develop the characters - but its a great idea and the art work is excellent and we had a good laugh.

    I like the ending with the closeup and the sensitivity of the comment right at the end

    I joined the network just so that I could post a comment on this film. It is totally brilliant! I loved it for it's humour, its observations and it's heart-breaking ending. The dog animation is gorgeous too! Congratulations.
