Treatment
Maya is 7 years old and she lost her both parents in a bomb attack, her parents sacrificed their lives to protect her from the bomb explosion. While she cries on her parents’ death, a lady discovers Maya and brings Maya home with her. Unfortunately Maya’s life with the lady turns out to be hell. Maya doesn’t get to play, eat good food, toys, love and all other things that a child should get around her age. But instead, the lady abuses Maya and forces her to work all day with little rest. Maya has to clean the house inside out and does whatever the lady tells her. The only thing Maya owns is a photograph that was taken when her parents still alive.
One extremely cold day the lady tells Maya to go out to pick up some woods for the cold night. No question ask Maya gets her hands on it and brings home some woods then heads back to her room. A bit later the lady gets angry and goes straight to Maya’s room and drags Maya’s hair downstairs and kicks her out of the house because Maya didn’t get enough wood. Despite how hard Maya begs the lady still leaves Maya outside the cold. Suddenly the lady opens the door, not to let Maya in but she throws out the photograph of Maya’s parents.
Hopelessly Maya walks away, snow starts falling and she has nowhere to go, so she keeps walking and walking. The snow falls thicker as Maya gets weaker, suddenly she stops and decides to build 2 big snowballs as she promised her parents. With naked hands she sculpts the 2 massive snowballs. Then, she puts the photograph on it while her legs are unstably shaking and she breathes heavily. The cold slowly intrudes her fragile body and finally she falls onto her knees. Suddenly 2 warm hands catch her fall before she hits the ground and slowly help her to stand up. Maya smiles and walks away with her parents. Then she turns her head around and looks at the snowballs she made, she sees herself kneels on the ground covers with snow, she knows she will never leave her parents side again!

Week1
During the holiday I came up with 2 stories,
The first one is about a Ninja faces the challenge in a mysterious house on a lake which it appears every 100 years. the Ninja is allow to have 3 lives and each time he dies the world that he's in changes (3D to 2D to claymation).
The second one is called Snowballs, the story is about a girl name Maya who lost her parents in a bomb attack in war time. She's later on adopted by a lady who turn Maya's life into hell. One cold winter night the lady kicks Maya out of the house, Maya hopelessly walks away and snow starts to fall. Maya later on fall to her death because of the freezing weather, she reunites with her parents once more.
Jack said the first one is a bit too long and personally i think to try 3 mediums of animation is a bit too hard and time consuming. So i decided to go with the second one instead. Snowballs has a good structure and character's backgrounds, but then same as the Ninja it's way too long for 1 minute animation.
Right now I'm trying to write a shots list to see how long it will turn out and hopefully it turns out right. I'm aiming about 2 minutes max. Otherwise i will have to cut down and that worries me.
