The dolls house animation

As mentioned previously i want to use Real life, plasticine models and paper cut outs within this stop motion animation. i find this a bit of a challenge but want to see if i can get the out come i hope for.

The opening scene of the animation will be a shot of a child (of a student from the class) playing with the dolls house and then looking over their shoulder before putting the dolls down and leaving the room.  Once the human has left the dolls that are sat around a plastic table will turn their heads to check that it is safe before all three leaving the table 2 walking to another room and 1 pulling up a fourth chair.
The second scene will be in the second room with the two models. one of the models will pull up a small piece of paper while the second one draws a rough sketch of a man on the surface. once the drawing is complete the models will swap places the one that was drawing will now be holding the paper while the other one will now pick up some scissors.
The third scene will be back in the first room where the 3 model was pulling up a chair. this scene will purely be to clearly identify what this model is doing in the other room as it shows the model just neatening things in preparation.
The fourth scene will be back in the other room where it cuts to the model using the scissors to cut the sketch out. once it is cut the models will lay the paper on the floor and both will bend down to grab a hand each of the sketch. after 3 attempts they pull up a paper person after looking around and steadying the paper person while they get used to their new legs they return back to the table and all sit around before the child comes back. thus ending the animation.

Here is an example of what i would like the dolls house to look like. as long as it has the two rooms and basic furniture the design of the dolls house itself isn't really that important.

 this is a basic of the furniture that i would require for the scene. 1 table with 4 chairs.


 


 Because a lot of detail is going into this animation the detail of the models themselves do not need to be perfect as these are created by a child. as long as they resemble people that is the main point. both examples here are how i will create the model very basic but i could make them look a bit more details like the first image.

This is the paper person that will be cut out. i will pre cut this as the one that will be made while filming will be very messy but i will ensure to make it look like the characters are actually drawing and cutting a real paper cut out.
