Making of | "God's Leash"

[@paint.droplets2961]

This might be weird but i find your dinosaur obsession quite adorable

[@InevitableTruth247]

I’ve an uncanny dragon obsession ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The thing with why we love dragons or dinosaurs is because they can be wild, and I guess that brings out the primitive and instinctual in us eh?

[@paint.droplets2961]

Inevitable Truth yeah

Since as a kid I still love dinosaurs and I glad you want to make the raptor accurate by giving it feathers

At first, I hated the short. I though that is was another video blaming technology for every problem in the world. I didn't like how her pet attacked her instead of still being friendly, how they used the term "God on a leash", and it all just made me uncomfortable. After some thinking, however, I realised that while it was a heartbreaking and hard to swallow message, it was a message I, among many others, needed to hear. It rained, so I can't go to the beach. I have to work, so I can't have a day to myself or with my friends. The list goes on and on, and many don't realise how lucky they are to have small inconveniences or huge misfortunes. Your work reminded me not just that living isn't all sunshine and rainbows (a truth that we are reminded of daily), but that life isn't *supposed* to be. It's so poetic, and your creativity and openness in presenting messages that we as a society need to hear is indescribably admirable. And for that, I thank you deeply. I cannot express my gratitude to your beautiful work, but I will try. You are the raincloud that we need to avoid getting lost in ignorance. You are the hard worker that reminds us that we have duties. And most of all, you are the light of enlightenment that shines through the darkness of our walls of denial that surround our castles of ignorance. We *need* people like you to keep us from complete and udder stupidity. Thank you ever so much, David.

I love safety and lack of change, and every day being the same - when I can keep it like that as much as possible is the only time I *don't* have anxiety and want to die. I clearly do dislike life and living, though, so it would make sense that its nature wouldn't be agreeable to me. ^^;

[@finnr-h6561]

This short was amazing 👏👏 your work needs way more attention than it has! Keep up the good work

[@Labyrinth_Props]

It didn’t hit me when I watched the animation, but, after watching this, it kinda reminds me of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. Yes, I am MyChem trash. But the worlds are very similar. A ‘utopian’ City, run by a corporation who has control over practically everything, complacent citizens, outside a hostile environment where danger is potentially around every corner, and those who escape to it actually feel, actually live. It’s awesome.

[@smple5568]

I want a pet dinosaur. I seriously do. Probably a dakotaraptor, so I could ride it n stuff. God forbid you take its chip off, though... And/or a velociraptor. They're actually cat-sized, feathery dinos unlike the ones in Jurassic Park, and I think would make an adorable pet tbh.

[@highdragonking3724]

David, I have been a subscriber, and a fan of yours since the Dead Sound, I certainly hope one day you can re-do Anguish, or the Subject series in an animation, and make it even more grand than before! You are one of the best animators, and one of my all time Machinima Creators, thank you for giving a young boy something to be excited for, and thank you for still producing quality content, and great atmospheres.

Words don't describe how much I love these mini documentaries of your shorts. Please never stop making them.

God's Leash truly does feel like an original idea to me unlike most Sci-Fi films (idk if you'd describe your animation as a sci-fi). And the fact that you came up with the designs and ideas, you'd be an amazing movie designer or screenwriter

I'm putting this on my Top5 of your videos. OK, not this "making of", but the "God's Leash" short. It's great story, beautiful animation, has that utopia-turning-distopia (not antiutopia) feeling... Marvelous!

[@dallasworth8158]

The mention of wondering if it feels cyberpunk is actually really interesting. Cyberpunk is super nebulous, but I thought I'd throw in my thoughts; when I first saw the city my first thought was solarpunk. It's this weird little offbranch of cyberpunk or steampunk, I'm not really sure what directly, that I really love despite that it gets really little attention. It tends to be bright and sunny and depicts "the future we want" the main thing that really made me think of it though is the plants. Solarpunk is super futuristic and absolutely covered in plants, it's really pretty. Idk I guess it just hit me that you may enjoy it. The steampunk offshoots are all really fun (my favorite being dieselpunk). Also on another note: Your worldbuilding is fabulous, I really appreciate how you manage to communicate so much of what the world is like with your backgrounds.

But nonetheless, this was still a good short. The “Don’t Think” idea was interesting, and I loved the backgrounds and colors. The character animation is a bit choppy, but I’ll look forward to your improvements. March on.

I loved the short film, as well as I love all your other films. Your so talented, I really love your work and your stories are so original its acutually refreshing. Everything you write, draw, and direct is amaizing. My younger brother really wants to pursue a career in animation, but my parents arent really supportive on the idea. He is really talented and has a really interesting imagination, but I feel like he has been drifting away from the idea. But he still sketchs and practices so he can get better. Im a writter myself and have many stories ( mostly based societies I made up) After seeing “No Monsters” which was the first video I ever watched and it just opened this door of ideas and posibillities, but im not really good at drawing. Your work is amaizing and I cant wait for your next film

[@mariasworkshop3548]

Personally I like the color more than to draw. because what I found online usually focus on the grayscale and I find that boring. I like to work with colors so I take pictures which are basically coloring pages and color them I love to do it and the results I think look good. recently I had an idea I found this furry dragon with a cute smiling face I knew that the fur on her was going to be granite shade of red so I decided to name her Scarlet after your dinosaur who is named after your cat. I also decided to give her yellow wings and underbelly. amber in color beautiful blue eyes and a tan brown body like your raptor with darker accent and details. I also wanted to say that I love what you’re doing your animations are beautiful!!

@Dead_Sound Advise from puppet maker use "Femo"-materials as a base and bake it in the oven instruction should be included. I made few dolls already and as a frame I used foil as a filling, with copper wires as a skeleton and "Femo" as a outer layer or skin you can paint it or readjust it if you feal like it.

The forest was tough, cold in winter and everything was limited - water, electricity, warmth, food. But I was happy like I've never been in my entire life. Now I started living in an apartment, I have everything under my nose and I don't feel as happy anymore. It's an irony nobody understands.
