I would have to say my greatest fear is failure, in any way it can happen. But most of all I fear failure in the sense of getting to where I have always wanted to be in life and not knowing what to do with it. Getting there and not knowing what to do next. Getting there and realizing that its not what I want to do after all. Getting there and not having anyone to cling onto for love and support.

Its definate that my time here at home (where i have been for almost 18 years of my life) is coming to an end soon, and when that time arrives.. so will college. Iv always had my security at home.. and iv never really left or been out on my own. I will be states away from family and friends and all i will have will be the thoughts of what if this doesnt work out. what iv im not strong enough. And if i do succeed.. what then? where do i go from there?

This is obviously something iv been struggling with lately and its taking me back and keeping me from just letting loose and letting everything just happen as it should. It would probably be much easier to just have a little faith, close my eyes and pray that i don't loose it. I still have one more year before im on my own, so its all i can do to be positive and know that i still have time to get a grip, smile, say to hell with it and make it happen.

I'm currently in my Computer Graphics and animation class and i need some ideas.
working in Maya Animation

we have just been assigned a project that will last us the rest of the year and will later be turned into a festivle.

what i need help on is the story line. it can be anything.

so far these are my simple funny ideas..

-Cat chasing fat mouse that can't fit in mouse hole
-Hamster who can't sleep bc the dog is snoring
-Flying Penguines
-Plane fails.. two people and one parachute
-Skeleton "Got Milk" theme
-Giraffe that eats the moon

please help me broaden these ideas out and help me think of more that would be better than what iv already come up with!


the requirements:

-make sure animation has a point
-should tell a funny story
-must be 30 seconds long

there is more too it but nothing anyone here can help me with.

its a lot harder than it sounds.
and i really need some input on this!

please comment your ideas to me!
thanks
