there it is1 an elf is a wire fraframed gesture enveloped in cloth and clay!
perhaps the elf Xperiment could be the skeletal wired old ones hiding in boxes for Xmas..
the elf all sopiffy in hat shoes coat etc ..goes to look into the boxes
(did pandora marry santa in some other plane of semi existance?)
( pandora has to somehow make a..OH! GOT IT!!!
watch end of mssing link odf yours..
make a blob like blanketed figure with THOSE HANDS poking out of sleives.
the rest of figure could just be tin foil blobs bulked up under a rumpled security blanky.
this (think little kid playing hide and seek peek aboo ghost pushing old toy boxes away in a corner to make it look like the rest of home has no toys so santa will leave more....
then shot: elf opens packags of old toys..
the toys ( any of your old animation puppets) ATTACK ELF ( you'll want stunt doubles for this part:
the elf loses his hat to one wire figure ..his coat to another..
has a wrestling match over his shoes..
sound could be torced screachy sound of fanc screaming mixed with the violin screachy sound of mr bates shower scene
watch "hard days night"
or one of those fans frenzied attacks of a star
where they all mob rush the superstar and claim momentos.
I like the acting and the timing was really good! Also the animation when he was trying to move the box was really good!! The weight of the box was believable...Good job!!!
