The story

I have kept the plot for the animation very simple. The idea involves a permanent mime, meaning a mime which never likes to break character as being a mime is what he is and is his life style. So the story starts as this main character, the mime, approaches a butcher van in the market square to buy some meat. As he never likes to break character he asks the butcher for two chickens by only using gestures as i mime does. How ever it turns out to be a more complicated and frustrating process as the butcher decides to have a bit of fun and attempts the confuse the situation a win over more money. The butcher immediately understands that the mime requires two chickens but instead interprets back five chickens, two cows and seven ducks. The mime desperately shakes his head and hands to say that, what the butcher said is incorrect. So again he animates him self and shows that he only requires two chickens. This time however the butcher becomes a bit rude and leads the mime to believe that he understands the mimes order so puts up to fingers and says "so you want to chickens" the mimes face lights up as he finally thinks he'll get his chickens. But the butcher adds a ridiculous thrusting motion to the sentence which infuriated the mime causing him to shout out. The mime realizes that he is caught speaking on camera and so pleads to the butcher to keep it quiet. Knowing that he has the upper hand the butcher bribes the mime into purchasing extra goods.

Using this story should allow some very interesting scenarios and camera angles also it is a story that is told using a lot of visual movements and so does not rely solely on audio to help bring it to life.

This will be a very complicated animation technically and will be very time consuming as the movements have to be believable also this animation relies a lot on facial expressions which are always difficult to make convincing. But hopefully the animation will turn out as I visualize it in my head even though the time frame in which to produce such an animation is very short.
