First attempt at opening scene

After many hours and hundreds of drawings, I have finally finished the majority of the first half of my animated short story. I roughly put the first 40-50 seconds worth of clips into FinalCut and edited them a little (no soundtrack at this point). I then asked a friend who had not seen any of my work and did not know the narrative of the animation to watch what I had created. Their reaction was that they really liked the actions and they did laugh at the funny moments even though there was no sound. The only problem that they had was that they didn't know that the cat was already an existing pet and that the puppy was a new addition. For this reason I have decided that I will add a short sequence to the start of the story featuring a car arriving at the house at night and then a hand opening the car door to reveal a pet carrier. The story will then continue as I had originally story boarded it.
