The Brightwater Family — Picture Day

A three-part limited-animation series about one family, one dog, and one photo appointment at four o'clock. Made by one person with a script-driven pipeline, as an AtVe Animation project.

Part 1: The Outfits

Picture day is at four. Seven hours is plenty of time, unless Pip has outgrown his cardigan, the dog has opinions about raincoats, and Grandma arrives three hours early.

Part 2: Our Dog Biscuit

Four quiet hours before the picture. It takes Biscuit twenty minutes to find the one muddy spot in the yard, and now there is a bath, a secret, a bandana, and a minivan covered in paw prints.

Part 3: The Picture

Everyone is at the park. Grandma's hat is in the reeds, the bunny is the camera, and Biscuit has been clean for one whole hour. Three… two… Biscuit, stay… one.
