Planning my own animation - final idea

I've decided that my idea didn't have much of a story to it, so I have altered it so that the characters, Sisky, Suarez, Cherry, and Chewy, are trying to escape from my pocket, rather than just talking. It will be part pixilation and part model-based animation. I will use the inside of a box for the pocket from which the characters will escape. It will start with me putting the things into my pocket and then it will cut to the box where Suarez will say something like "That's it! I've had enough of that girl! We shouldn't be treated like her slaves! I say we escape from this hell hole!" to which Sisky will say something along the lines of "Y'know, Suarez, for once, I agree with you. I've been with her for years and the treatment never gets any better. I've been dropped, kicked, lost, and who knows what else! I say we hatch a plan..." and then Cherry will be cautious and say to the others that "things aren't that bad. I mean at least we're all together. Maybe we should just stay here." and then Chewy will speak up and get really annoyed with Cherry and say that he agrees with the others and that Cherry is an "idiot, should just shut up and go away, you are insane," etc. because he's dramatic. After they've decided that they're going to escape, they will plan it and then it will show them coming out of the pocket.

Planning my own animation - final idea

The idea that I have chosen for my animation is the stop-motion animation with found objects that I briefly explained in the last post. I will use four objects (phone, ipod, lip balm, and chewing gum) and bring them to life and have them talk to each other about what life is like for them.

CHARACTERS

IPOD - 

Name: Sisky Business.

Position in group: the boss. He is the oldest and he tells the others what they can and can't do/tells them to shut up a lot.

Personality: lazy, bossy, but kind and wise. He tries to treat everyone in the group equally.

PHONE - 

Name: Alex Suarez. Is sometimes referred to as just Suarez.

Position in group: thinks he's the boss, but he is the second in charge rather than the first.

Personality: egotistical, arrogant, energetic, but sweet. He is good friends with Sisky and is often trying to gain his approval. 

LIP BALM - 

Name: None. Is usually referred to as Cherry.

Position in group: one of the newest members. He replaced Vanilla - his sister - after she died. 

Personality: quiet, awkward, thoughtful, cautious. He tries to make Chewy feel better, he doesn't usually get on well with Alex.

CHEWING GUM - 

Name: None. Is usually referred to as Chewy.

Position in group - the lowest. Chewing gum is often replaced so the rest of the group tend not to get too attached when a new one comes along.

Personality: doubtful, paranoid, dramatic, but kind. Chewy is particularly kind to Cherry, but he doesn't like Alex, who ignores him, and is suspicious of Sisky.

BACKGROUNDS

I'm not yet sure what their background will be yet, but it will possibly just be the table, or it could be designed to look like the inside of a pocket with black cloth.

AUDIO

Character's voices will probably be voiced by me. 

Further Planning and Research

I know now that I definitely want to do a model based animation with objects rather than plasticine, but I'm still not sure exactly what I want to do. I think I might either do something with some teddies or dolls that I have at home.

I like the idea of using my Fall Out Boy dolls and doing a mini music video with them. However, they are rigid and it will be difficult to move. Although I do like this idea, I don't think I will be using it as it would be difficult to execute well

I think it's likely that I will do something involving teddies or other found objects that I have at home as they will be easier than dolls to animate and could be more interesting.

One idea is that I could use the things I usually have in my pockets, which are my phone, my ipod, chewing gum/mints, and lip balm. I think it would be interesting to personify them and have them talk about 'life inside Leah's pocket.'
