For now, all I have are these two characters. One is a red angry little square. The other is a lively and happy circle. Both are very plain looking flat characters running around this very colorful world. I don't know what to do with them yet.

Concept 4: Tissue Genie
A young girl who is wracked with emotional despair and sadness uses up her entire box of 'Genie Tissue.' A genie appears, ready to make her happy with toys, candy, and other objects of happiness. However, all these possessions only serve to make the girl more miserable.
Concept 3: Auld Lang Syne
It's Christmas Eve. Our main character is a nameless, homeless, female teenager. She is fed up with the lack of respect and dignity given to her by shoppers and passersby. At the end of her rope and her money can empty, she snaps. She rips off lights from houses, pulls trees from lawns, and tears down decorations. Is this reign of terror an act of destruction, or merely a display of desperation with the desire to carve out a little yuletide cheer for herself?
I have made the aesthetic choice, as seen here, where everything is in black and white except for the Christmas lights.
Set to a (public domain!) recording of "Auld Lang Syne" sung by Frank C. Stanley.
Concept 2: Preston-digitation
Preston is an amateur magician who, inspired by one of his magician idols, holds himself to impossibly high standards. We see his plight as he attempts to practice and practice a simple trick. Will he drive himself insane attempting to preform the magic trick? Will it all be worth it?
The idea is that practicing and performing magic is an allusion (or illusion *bah-dum ching*) to animation.
Concept 1: Danse Macabre
A bored and inquisitve little girl is shut in her room for the night as her parents host a dance party. Suddenly, a friendly little monster peers through her window and asks her for a dance in the moonlight.
What's the worst that could happen?
Inspired by Camille Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre"
