Short animation ideas

These are all illegible gibberish at the moment. And godamm my neck is sore.

Harry potter and the half-pipe prince – a picture idea actually, better to write them down though right?

Action comedy adventure extreme

Duke nukem  style man playing computer game, abuses video game developers for making him start a medieval fantasy  game off killing rats, the developers appear and send him into the game, has a wooden sword, hits a rat.. it bounces off.  takes a  massive weapon from somewhere, hits a rat, it gets smushed. Doesn’t speak the language. Grabs a street urchin boy  to be his mule/squire, some girl to be his magician, quickly adjusts their attire… area blocked of by cart, smashes through it. Kills a giant creature instantly, goes to dragon lair, next scene riding a dragon. Kidnaps a princess/builds a castle. Cuts off his arm and attaches it to the boy when he must be in two places at once, with no ill effect.
Can do whatever he wants basically. never say never!, confidence is key and all that.Obviously very deep and meaningful…

Stasis sleep, something goes wrong, glimpse of face, wakes up, destroyed building , noise outside, go outside, dogfight In the sky, stranger near house, plane comes down , stranger and wake-up person dive away, plane crashes into house, explosion,  two pilots, one injured,  lies.  Must travel to a different place for evac/transportation.

God of the world being attacked by a god of a different planet epic fight – sends son away into the world, son has children – either that or he splits his son into shards and sends them into the world.
The ‘world attack’ being stopped by the gods sons children/shard possessed people – they spiritually explode, hurling ‘(smaller)shards’ of themselves all over the world.

The man escaping the slave mine, who becomes possessed by one of the shards as it flees a dying body. (it’s not a complete possession, more like a parasite)
Gets away, works, gets a ladyfriend, chased by those looking to capture or kill people with shards in them, confrontation,  lady finds out about shard, he flees, meets her later, betrayal, then unbetrayal, she dies, another crazy shard man comes, takes her away, she becomes mechanical, alive. He’s Trying to find crazy shard user to get her body back. Or something.

Walking along a thin path to music as people join the walk and fall away, begin alone – end alone. A sad one

Slightly insane surreal ones

A windy plain – a dream – a person glimpsed – a chase

A room with a window , they look out and see all the things they can/want to do – the person never leaves, chains chaining them to things as they wonder about getting out – a voice questions them,  posters on the wall with words on them, questions, statements. Fear, death, routine.
(If I turn it into this it might become  ‘Welcome to the NHK’… which is an anime about a social recluse who never leaves his house…) (Not my intent at all.)

Boy in room, looks out window into room full of stuff he wants to do, wonders if he should go outside but all the little things that chain him there ask him questions to dissuade him, the computer, books, posters on the wall with words on them like fear pain death rejection imperfection effort. They all talk to him whenever he wants to leave, you aren’t good at that, it’s dangerous, what if they say no. what if you fail. It wont work. You’ll never get good enough. Isn’t that hard?

How does that end…


Places to go – a cog in the big machine – or somewhere else
Fear of the unknown , fear of change .Something scary – the unknown , jump in (specific metaphor - a person on a boat, catches glimpses of massive sharks under the surface of the water)
Paths to take – a road well travelled, a road less travelled, a road not travelled, a place with no road at all.
Think you’re happy, content, Parts of the body closed off, how can you know unless you experience them.

Say no to suicide – someone uppercutting the grim reaper, slow mo
Say no to drugs  - uppercutting drugs....
