Topic: Christmas stop-motion animations ideas

So I'm making LEGO animation series for Christmas, but there is going to be many episodes (I hope) So I'm searching for ideas!
Btw if you want to be a voice actor in the series, enter here: http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … rs-needed/

I've done some script for few episodes, but I'm out of ideas right now.

The story is about a LEGO town and it's inhabitants.

Some bad guys decide to steal a truck full of toys and other stuff people ordered from the LEGO internet store. They call to the mayor and tell him to pay them a lot of money to get the stuff back.

One of the main characters is a police officer who starts looking for the stolen stuff.

Now it's your turn to tell me some ideas what's gonna happen.
I'll post a video to YouTube that has all this stuff in it. I want as much ideas as possible and combine them into one, bigger story.

Everyone whose idea I use will get their name (BiM or YouTube?) to the end credits.

Thanks

Make a chase seen where they start chucking toys out the truck at the police vehicles chasing them. A view inside the car when like a teddy bear splatters against the windshield or something like that.

Very nice! The project sounds great. If I get an idea I'll tell you.

Re: Christmas stop-motion animations ideas

I'll think of an idea (will post later), and if you like it enough I'll write a script for you.

Re: Christmas stop-motion animations ideas

Just got a small spark of creativity.

What if a man, on Christmas Day, is expecting his kids to come and visit. But they never come. And there's a monologue with him talking in his thoughts/to himself about his kids and how he hasn't seen them for a few years. And he waits and waits, but the day grows old and they never show up. Finally, an hour before Christmas is over, there's a knock at the door. He opens it, and there are his kids (3 of them). He invites him in, but they don't want to come in. They instead tell him something (strange-ish), and they hand him a letter. They then leave in a hurry and the old man closes the door.

He goes to open the letter but before he can there's another knock at the door. So he opens it again and a policeman is standing there, asking if he is *some name*. The old man says yes and the policeman takes off his hat and tells him he has some bad news. The old man invites him in, and he isn't willing at first, but comes in. He's barely a few steps away from the door when he tells the old man that all three of his kids were killed in a plane crash, about 1 hour ago. And that's he's sorry for his lost, etc etc. The old man asks when some questions, finding out when the plane left (they almost didn't make it on board...but they sadly did). Anyway after the cop leaves the old man collapses into a chair and thinks...then he realizes, that if the plan hadn't crashed, his kids would have been at his house around the same time they appeared at the doo---wait they were here! He quickly grabs the letter and opens it up. It tells him that they were all fine and doing well, and that he shouldn't be sad. And some other stuff, or something like that.

Anyway just a small idea I got.

Re: Christmas stop-motion animations ideas

Ok, that's an entire episode! Maybe I'll use that, maybe not. Maybe I'll take parts from it. You will get your name to the credits if I do. mini/smile

Anyway that wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It was more about the stolen toys and police officers, bakery man and little kid and his family.
Maybe I didn't give enough info in the first message, but thanks anyway!

Keep posting those ideas, because soon I have to start filming! mini/blankexpression
