the animation part of my project will start with the main character getting hit in the head with a frisbee and waking up as an animated character, most likely a stick figure similar to the ones drawn below. I want it to have a Halloween theme so I would like the story to revolve around the main character exploring being animated for a second only to encounter a serial killer. I want to create a short chase scene of the figure running away with the serial killer in view during the same shot. I think it would be cool to have a sort of long action shot that doesn't have any cuts and follows both characters running through a scene and up some stairs. At the top of the stairs, the main character slams the door and backs into a room, only for the serial killer to get in and trap her. I want the animation to end with the main character jumping out the window and landing on the ground outside, where we will cut back to the protagonist lying beneath a window in real life. I'm pretty happy with the idea I have for this project and I think I will enjoy animating it. I have already filmed some of the shots of my girlfriend getting hit by the frisbee but I think I will have to reshoot now that I have a complete plan. I think the idea I have is manageable within the time frame of the project so I'm feeling good about it.
