The Black Dogs Progress - A film by Stephen Irwin

A series of flipbooks tell the sad story of the Black Dog.

The sad story of the Black Dog is told with a series of flipbooks. The scene grows denser as looped scenes accumulate and the narrative develops.

The Black Dog, unwanted by his owner, is thrown out into an unwelcoming neighbourhood. On his journey he’s corrupted by acts of violence and grows determined to live happily ever after back home. Unfortunately Mother has different plans and his story ends in tragedy.
The film is told within a single shot using a series of flipbook animations. The scene grows denser as looped scenes accumulate and the narrative develops.

This is an awesomely executed piece of work not to be missed with a great score by Sorenious Bonk.
