THE DAY SHIT HAPPENED - and therefore didn't change the world...
Growing up with Hollywood movies like THE TERMINATOR, BACK TO THE FUTURE, I developed something of a passion for the typical time-travel paradox that is the core of above mentioned films. Screwing something up today and then travelling back to fix it, just to realize that only because of that, the screw up could happen in the first place, has something nutty to it I really like. Stories about heroes saving the world, a chosen one with special powers or the usual concept of: "Anyone, even the smallest of beings, can change the world for the better if he just tries hard enough!" have been used in a lot of films throughout cinematic history, so why not use this basic concept and combine it with something really, really silly?!
I kept brainstorming about what would probably be the most silly and most useless character possible. Something that no major studio what ever dare to pick as their hero for their 3D animated movies. Something that's not been done to death, like talking animals for example. After some deep thought, I came to the conclusion that a little doggie pile pretty much is the most useless thing on earth and if it could talk and whine about it's situation could potentially be very funny and at least somewhat "fresh" (no pun intended). Filmmakers have the unique ability to share their view of the world with a greater audience and sometimes like to impose their political ideals on the unsuspecting viewer. In the case of this short, all I dared was to make a tiny allusion to the state of the world today, which seems to be halfway on it's way down the toilet... (ok maybe a little pun intended)
To conclude, I took my love for time travel stories, a powerless little doggie pile and my love & hate relationship with a certain world power, and tried to combine all this into the most bizarre "David versus Goliath" tale ever told: THE DAY SHIT HAPPENED. The Day when the most powerless thing on earth stood up to a fate that seemed too big and arbitrary to even try to change. The Day when everything seemed possible, and at the end nothing changed. The Day the reason for the next war was the most silly to date: "Get the shit out of the way!" |
