Short animation film for my class

[Glavinsolo]

I need to come up with a 3min short story and have turned to ATOT to provide some insightful short stories. Be creative or confirm that the ones I provided below are good enough. Here are a couple of my ideas. Dialogue should be kept to a minimum.

Short 1: Boy and girl are playing jenga (Ages 5-7) in the living room. They get down to a few pieces left and then an older brother comes in with a few buddies and tosses a football around the house not seeing them there. Then the father comes through with his new trumpet and plays very loudly while walking causing vibrations. Then the mother comes through very silently comes up to the two playing jenga, puts her face to the blocks and yells out Jenga! as if she has turrets but the blocks to not fall. Then the family dog comes through cuddles up next to the two of them and farts toppling the blocks.

Short 2: Recreate the scene from "BIG" where the two play the piano in the toy store.

Short 3: A kid flying his kite on the beach and all the perils that may happen. I am still working on this one

cut #2-- be original.

#1 and #2 aren't stories.

stories have a begining, a middle, and an end. so... setup the world, a character, and his/her want, throw a wrench into it, have the character struggle in the middle, and then resolve it either good or bad in the end.
