2 ideas I came upon for short animations
Story #1:
A character is living in a box which has no roof, but it has 4 walls. The character lives a rutine life in this box. Until one day, day a ladder comes down form the sky into the room. But it won’t be it. He would have issues in leaving the room.
Story #2:
This story is based on one of Tom Waits’ greatest songs called ” What’s he building”.
The sotry revolves around grabbing audiences’ attention and curousity on wanting to know what this guy is building in his house.
The result would probably be a surprise to the audience and make them go: awwww!
