“Sheep Films is a website featuring short slapstick comedy films and animations by British filmmaker Dave Packer. The short films often deal with absurd and surreal scenarios in everyday settings, enhanced by special effects”. (1)
Dave Packer has created a wide variety of bizarre situations such as ‘Plant Feed’, which shows an average sized plant being watered; then growing to a humungous size, and in turn watering him back.
I really like the range of work that this filmmaker has created, his underlying concept is always very simple yet effective. The content initially seem to be the same, however there is always a twist- something that the users do not expect, which flips the situation on its head. This is why his clips have become so popular.
This is the same philosophy that I would like to incorporate into my own viral marketing video, I want to have something that users do not expect, or do not believe would happen- and in turn surprise them.
I cannot do Dave Packer any justice on this blog due to the to the sheer quantity of videos that has been created. Too see a wider variety of video that he has to offer, please refer to the bibliography for more links.
