Night of the living bread!

That's the new working title for the moment.

I've scripted a first draft, a second draft and about 3/4 of my storyboard which after putting down for a while I've already made changes to in several places. A rough estimate comes up with about 4.5 mins... which means I'm probably looking at about 5 - 5.5 minutes if my last animation is anything to go by.

Having settled on a visual style, I've been working on the concept of animating everywhere without actually animating everywhere. I know that doesn't make sense, but either does an evil sandwich. I site the chewbacca defense...

What I mean is that I'm trying to remain concious of using foley and spot effects to elude to offscreen action whilst animating the action ON screen. I'm trying some weird camera angles and combining moving the subject around the screen with moving the environment around the subject...

The other idea I had was to build the cartoonish tension of the piece by using music and a ticking clock. There is a clock on the wall in the sandwich's house. Lightning is striking outside, signalling an oncoming storm. As the tension builds, the ticking clock, combined with the dog's heartbeat and possibly a leaking roof (dripping) might be a nice effect.
