Potential Narrative Idea

I have been thinking about a possible narrative today, for our circus-based animation, and had an idea;

'The Real Illusionist' - A man is on stage performing magic tricks - but they all go wrong. As the disappointed crowd continues to watch, we pan outwards to the circus performers waiting to go on. They look bored, hanging around waiting for their time. But, we see that this is where the magic really happens - but here it all goes unnoticed. Somebody saving another's life; Animals dancing behind all their backs; A man accidentally catching a falling flower and presenting it to a woman, who smiles at him. As we return to the conjurer inside, we realise that magic isn't about cheap tricks, but the beautiful things that go on all around us every day.

I think this would make a sweet and touching short animation, and provide scope for rich sets and characters.

Pending discussion with group...
