Fantastic Voyage - Narrative Frame 1

My first initial idea for a narrative frame around the reproductive cycle of moss, my chosen subject for this project, is a science fiction approach. The narrative will be based with a automated spaceship that terraforms suitable planets into recreations of earth. The ship begins the terraforming process and also begins to breed and cultivates every living organism from earth onboard through artificial means and then transplants these organisms onto the planet's newly terraformed surface. My animation will focused around the moss production chambers and will feature the complete process from after the haploid spores are released and begin to grow. I will detail both the male and female cycles, showing only the male's growth cycle as both are quite similar but will show the fertilisation and spore ejection process as well.

Post Greenlight Story - Grave Mistakes

Premise

Coming to terms with the consequences of actions.

Logline

A caring grandfather attends his grandson's birthday party, only for the sins of his past to interfere with the present and his heart.

Step Outline

x Grayam Parsons, a 72 year old, attends his Grandson's 10th birthday party. He walks out into the garden and is greeted by the guests. 

x He begins to socialise and enjoy the atmosphere, but he begins to experience brief flashes in front of his eyes. Grim smiles echo over the other guest's faces, enormous cemeteries superimposed over ice lollipops and swirling chemicals mimicked in drink glasses.

x Grayam takes a seat on a bench to recover.

x Grandson and party guests gather for the present opening. Grandson pulls out a toy rocket, holding high in the air.

x Grayam's breathe catches in his throat and vivid images of rockets stream in front of him as his Grandson plays with the new rocket toy.

x Grayam's eyes glaze over and a tear slides down his cheek. His heart slowly gives out and he dies on the garden bench.

Story Idea 4: Grave Mistakes - Premise, Logline and Step Outline

Premise

Coming to terms with consequences of actions.

Logline

A caring grandfather attends his grand-daughter's birthday part, only for the sins of his past to interfere with the present.

Step Outline

x Rocket Scientist (RC) wakes up and sits up in bed.

x RC walks past a window overlooking a cemetery.

x His brow furrow as faint screams rattle inside his head and an orange flash covers his face accompanied by    a quiet boom. He snaps out of it.

x RC continues walking into the kitchen and picks up a birthday invitation.

x Flashes of lab work, a huge rocket and military men with grim smiles.

x RC walks into the garden, his grand daughter runs over to him and he hugs her. The party in full swing; kids    jumping on a bouncy castle, buffet table and balloons. RC goes to sit down on a garden bench.

x RC sits quietly as the party carries on. Flashes of an nuclear atrocity replace the party and RC's eyes begin    to tear up.

Story Idea 3: The Inflatable Kingdom

After the radical creation of a rocket capable of interstellar flight the governments of earth fight over who should own this marvel. It's creator, Simon the Scientist, is angry that human power structure cannot share this breakthrough in the name of peace and advancement of diplomacy and takes off from planet Earth and disappears when he successfully jumps into another galaxy. This however doesn't go as planned as when he emerges into this new galaxy the rocket's systems begin to fail,  leaving him now choice but to attempt an emergency landing on the nearest planet. As he begins his descent his is met by the strangest of sights; the world he is attempting to land on is made of rubber and he can see miles and miles of inflatable wheat fields and hardened rubber fences. Completely distracted by his strange scenery, he fails to notice the large blow up mausoleum below and his rocket pierces the structure. The air tight walls burst and he suddenly loses control of the spacecraft, it twists and turns within the former mausoleum's material until an abrupt crash is heard and everything stops abruptly. He emerges from his craft only to find himself crash landed in the middle of a cemetery, the scenery now is completely unlike what he saw earlier, the dazzling yellows, blues and reds have been replaced by greys, browns and blacks and eerie solid rubber gravestones stand silent. He began to think that things couldn't get much worse, marooned in another galaxy, no rocket, no ide where he was and stuck in a cemetery of all places. But he hadn't accounted for the weather, a thunderstorm sets in and increases Simon's desperation. He wanders through the cemetery aimlessly, hoping to find an exit. After sighting a path and following it for a while he comes upon a large dark mass, unable to make out what it is until lightning illuminates a hooded figure. Simon screeches loudly and falls backwards, the statue is kneeling, robed all in black rubber and clutches what appears to be a large needle with its skeletal fingers; Simon regains his composure and his face turns bright red as he realises the noise he just made. After examining the statue, he begins to put together rational theories of his environment only for his thoughts to be interrupted by the appearance of some suspiciously inflatable looking guards. "Outsider! You are under arrest for the defilement of the royal mausoleum and the deflated monarchs within!" A guard screams, with slight undertones of rubbery squeaks. Simon is both alarmed and shocked, dazed, he is pushed to the floor hard and has his hands tied with plastic rope. "Take him to Bouncy Castle!"

Story Idea 2 - The incident of the Bouncy Castle in the Cemetery

The Scientist (who is also a rocket) and his team is attempting to create a new wonder of their world made up of the energy of citizens who hold weddings and funerals above their secret research facility, which is located underneath the city's cemetery. This, however, goes terribly wrong as instead of creating a pure bouncy castle, something never before seen in their world, they create the physical form but an influx of negative energy creates a twisted and evil soul that possesses the bouncy castle. None of the team realise this however and celebrate their success. A grand banquet is held with the brand new creation as the center piece. The bouncy castle, however, has other ideas and breaks out of the containment cell, only to attempt to eat the staff in the facility. The protagonist uses his ingenuity and flees to the armoury and procures a firearm to destroy the beast, he does so only to find he is the only one left alive.

Not too sure if this plot is too much but I enjoy the crazy defiance of reality with it.
If anyone has ideas on how to improve this or if it too much It'd be greatly appreciated!
