Warum machst du das?
Before the first scene was made, each animal got a reference sheet with four views. Every later image was generated from it. That’s how Sammy stays the same dog in every shot.
Dog
A medium-sized mixed breed, light brown with a white chest and a red collar. Taken in as a puppy, tied to a street lamp and left behind as a grown dog. He waits until morning.
Cat
A young grey tabby with white paws. She used to wait at the front door; now she sits in the drizzle between the bins.
Rabbit
A white dwarf rabbit with brown ears, abandoned in the forest next to an open, empty pet carrier. The image model invented the brown rings around her eyes, and they stayed.
Singer
Black cap worn backwards, black college jacket with an R patch. Sings the pre-chorus and the bridge, alone with Sammy’s collar in the bridge.
Singer
Sunglasses, beard, black cap with a gold emblem, gold chain. Speaks the documentary intro and sings the verses.
