5 stop motion concepts

Idea 1: Racing toy cars

My first idea is to use two toy cars, a lambo and a ferrari and have them d racing each other. They’ll drift around little paper cones, and I’ll use torn cotton wads to create the illusion of a smoking exhaust. I found my inspiration to do this in a youtube video:

Idea 2: Tea time

This idea is inspired by the iconic scene in Beauty and the Beast where all the cutlery and kitchenware come alive. I would have spoons and teacups spinning around saucers, dancing and rotating around the teapot and the pot self would open and close. Furthermore, scones and cake appear and appear to get eaten up as they slowly disappear piece by piece.

Idea 3: Dancing shoes

A Pair of shoes dances to the music, shimmying, stepping, twirling and cha cha sliding and moonwalking to the beat. I would make use of transparent string to make certain movements, or wear the shoes and some colored socks to chroma key my legs out.

Idea 4: Sticky notes TO DO dance

Someone sticks a few to do lists on their desktop screen. While gone, the notes decode to do a bit of work of their own and take over the screen to make it their dance floor. The title “to do” is formed, and turns into “dance”. The notes then make different patterns across the screen. I was inspired by various images and clips of sticky note stop motions.

Idea 5: Pawn vs an army

My last and perhaps most imaginative idea is the story of an underdog. A single pawn faces an entire army on the chessboard. Against all odds, he defeats foe after foe and slays pawns, rooks, knights and bishops. When he reaches the queen and brings her to a fall, she surprises him and knocks him over in a final attempt at saving her husband the king. Our hero dies just short of reaching victory. It is a tale of courage and determination. I will use round cutouts of red paper to make it appear as though blood seeps out underneath him, and paper wings will sprout from his body as he is carried up to chess heaven.
