Background
The chief objective was to craft a touching, visually inventive journey for our hero girl and dog that ends in an emotional gut punch. The director’s approach to creating the dream world was to play with scale and texture, while blending practical and CG effects. The end result is tactile and immersive, and sets the perfect stage for the girl and dog to forge their friendship. By heightening the wonder and emotional reality of the dream world, our director also heightened the emotional rug pull of our final frame.
Execution
We open on a young girl sleeping in bed, pushing in as we enter her dream world. She wanders and explores cinematic dreamscapes, before happening upon a loveable dog. Becoming fast friends, they continue on a surreal and captivating adventure. It’s like they’ve been waiting for each other. As their adventure ends we come close on the dog, fading to a matched frame of him in a dreary shelter. We see the end line “Your dream is their dream too.”
