A Perfect Day for a Walk | Animated Short Film

[@insertnameshow]

this is really good at uncovering how the matter how important working on something for yourself might be. It’s not worth neglecting the creatures that love you and need to be loved

I have watched this numerous times over, and it doesn't cease to hit all the right notes every time. For starters, the design of the room, cluttered and illuminated purely by a few monitors, is such a relatable scene. One particular detail I noticed was the preexisting claw marks on the wall where Howey, or rather ghost of Howey, was jumping for the leash. And the modem on the file cabinet under the desk! Furthermore, the variety of the clutter and detail put into each and every piece of it is astounding, from the bottles, cans, and takeout scattered around to USB drives and markers along the desk, I am blown away. I even noticed a sauce packet somewhere. I applaud the effort put into the room's design, it's oddly beautiful. And the design is far from the only incredibly well done aspect. The subtlety of the themes up until the reveal is quiet enough that certain things, such as when they glance over at the empty dog bed with the leash in hand, can easily be glossed over on a first watch, while still hinting at something bigger. I. Love. It. Also! The person and their dog's entire life and story from the pictures on the wall is so well executed. I adore the effort put into fleshing out a story for these two, it's so wonderfully done and really makes the ending hit harder. Lastly: the actual ending. I am unable to put it into words, mostly because I'm too busy sobbing. The entire length of the film we're told to believe that Howey is there. He interacts with the world, all of his necessities are still present such as the dog bed and leash, and Cyn interacts closely enough to the effects Howey's actions have that we're made to believe they're aware of his presence, up until they finally get up and step over all the clutter to the door and hesitantly unlock it. During that scene, I also noticed that Howey's dog bowl was still there, driving the belief even further until Cyn finally opens the door. Barely enough that, at first, we don't notice what's happening to Howey until they swing it open and allow light to flood in. I'll be honest, I didn't realize that Howey had disappeared at first. I had to replay the scene to figure out what happened. It's done so subtly that it can be missed easily, and Howey can just disappear without noticing, which works with the theme of the film so nicely. This is likely the best realistic representation of grief, especially regarding a pet, that I've seen in awhile. I applaud everyone behind this film and wish you all the best. Take care of yourselves, folks.

Okay wait why did this truly make me cry that was amazing great job you perfectly showed the different emotions and you told the story so well

[@princessthyemis]

oh my goooosh, this is fantastic! i did NOT expect the ending at all! The twist was so brilliantly delivered in a visual way! And i love how the person steps over the trash, perhaps symbolizing stepping over the obstacles, or at least some of them, that grief presents? i also really love how his emotions are animated SO well; both on his face and in his overall body languge! i love the shots of his legs moving! and wow, how he opened the door with the hand holding the leash is brilliant visual storytelling--sayng "i don't want to do this, but i'll do it for Howey" without saying a word! and i loooove the detailed yet not visually unclear clutter of the room! I'm working on a short film that will also have some messy room shots like that, so i'm totally gonna use this for inspiration when i learn how to draw background!!! this is amazing!!! I'm gonna show it to my mom cuz I'm sure she'll love it as well!
