Pitch Ideas
1. <<Mission Nursing Home>> RED and BLUE are two World War 2 veteran's who have been friends for ages and even as kids they were inseparable. Due to recent decline in BLUE'S health he has been put in a nursing home, which is something he hates cause he feels like he is in a prison. BLUE and RED come up with a plan and they go to extreme meassures to put this plan into play.
Style:
Story takes place in our time were these two are in their 80's - 90's just to make it more interesting. I want this short story to be a blend of "badass", hilariously funny and more to it then meets the eye. While idea of the story is that, no matter how old you get so things stay with you for the rest of your life and in these guys case, they kept their childish foolishness and imagination you might say.
These are same of the examples i had in mind for my characters and the type of short animation i had in mind for this story:
And this guy from a animation movie i saw couple years back while i was attending class at Noroff i belief it's from a short animation movie called "Geri's game" or something like that.
The PLOT
An Old man sits in his wheel chair looking at the old photo reminiscing memories of the past, the man is called Blue an military veteran of world war 2.
He spends most of his days in his room at the Nursery home since he got sick.
Blue throws the picture on his bed and looks out the window in pure envy of those young people who walk and run pass his Nursing home.
He's been doing that ever since he moved in the Nursing home, he misses his childhood friend Red. They have been inseperable since they were kids, Blue laughs at a memory from the past when Blue threw eggs at Mrs. Weiman's house and blamed it on Red.
Blue shakes his head out of the dream and picks up the phone and dials in Red's number.
Blue and Red conjure a plan to get Blue out of the nursing home just for the night before he loses his mind.
Later that day Blue prepares everything for the escape and waits for Red to call on the phone when hes ready outside.
Phone rings and Blue takes his jacket on and grabs his walking chair and heads for the exits.
Close to the exit Blue gets stopped by one of the nurses asking where he was heading, Blue stops and slowley turns and replies to the nurse that hes going for some fresh air and to stretch his legs abit.
Another nurse who has been bribed by Red replies that Blue is going for a short walk with a friend.
Blue steps outside with his walking chair and walks towards Red car. (like a badass with badass music in his head but in reality hes walking really show with his chair stroller).
When Blue gets to the car he asks Red if he can drive since he hasn't driven a car for long time and Red let's him.
Blue unsure of his driving skills crashes the car in the first tree right next to the Nursing home and ruins the getaway.
FIN
2. <<Thief>> A careless man has been a subject to several thief attacks from most unsuspected character. Man didn't put too much thought a first but it was getting out of hand and he had to do something!
Style:
I was thinking about using same type of animation style in this story as in the previous one. The idea came from this short animation movie i saw long ago i can't remember the name but that story was abit different and it kinda took a different turn then i expected. So i came up with my own story with a man fighting an animal who has been harrassing his estates and its getting out of hand and he has to do something about it. The animal i had in mind here would be a badger at first i wasn't too sure i was thinking through the different ideas for an animal but everytime i came back to the badger or a weasel. I guess Badgers have always been portayed as thiefs in cartoons and animation movies, so why not!? Guess the idea i was going for here was something like DreamWorks Madagascar i guess with some mixture of Ice Age maybe.
Here is the kinda style i was looking for:
The PLOT
It all start one evening when "_____" takes out the trash just before going to sleep.
As the man was going up the stairs he hears noice coming from the trash like someone is going through it.
"_____" opens up the curtains and flashes with flashlight towards the trash and see's nothing.
"Enter Badger" Badger hide behind this thin tree while "___" was looking out with the flashlight.
Badger find nothing usefull so he instead decides to steal mans tool box from the garage.
Next day man wakes up prepare breakfast and goes out to see what that noise from yesterday was.
Outside he find the trash everywhere and there track going from the trash to the garage so the man walks to the garage and looks around.
Apperantly his tool box is missing and he looks around see maybe he misplaced it somewhere.
"___" having little time decides to just ignore it and look for it later because he has to go soon to work and he still needs to eat.
Just when the man walked in the house the badger strikes again stealing mans shoes which were standing just next to the entrance door.
"____" going to work lock up the house and just when he was about to leave he notiices that his shoes that he uses for work are missing now too.
He looks around thinking neigbour kids might be pulling pranks on him just ignores it yet again and leaves for work.
Badger appears yet again with an oppertunity to steal more stuff from "____" grabs everything in its path.
Later that day when "____" came home most of the tools in his garage were missing including the front porch wooden chairs, "____" is getting worried now and is thinking about calling the cops to report this but doesnt.
Badger from a distance watches the man and laughs, thinking he could get away with much more.
Late at night "___" hears the same noices again and looks around the estate and see's the badger and thinks the noise from the other day was that same badger but didnt suspect him of being the one stealing everything.
"____" goes to bed but he wakes up in the middle of the night hearing moving noices and knocking but he doesn't do anything about he just goes straight to bed again.
Early in the morning "___" get woken up by someone dragging the quilt off him and taking his pillow.
"___" looks around the room it's been emptied out there is nothing but his bed quilt and pillow in the room and this strange creature dragging the quilt away from him.
"___" realizing whats going on starts pulling back the quilt out of Badgers hands but the badgers doesnt give in. Eventually the badgers take both his quilt and the pillow laughing.
THE END
(This is the part where i had in mind a scene from Badgers layer sitting confortably in "___" chair watching his TV with all of "___" stuff around in badgers layer.)
