Focus on Story

I think I have enough ideas for character to move forward with at this point, now I'm focusing on trying to come up with brief but interesting stories for my characters to be involved in.

I'm starting to get better at visualising ideas that loop or continue indefinitely, I'm pretty sure at this point I'm going to use my baseball character for my analogue gif, and a variation on this Box chaarcter for my digital gif. 

This idea basically comes from me being at work a lot lately and all I see are boxes on boxes on shelves above and below more boxes, and they're all so bland and I hate them. So I chose to try and inject some life into one to quell my boredom with boxes. I think the various expressions is an okay idea, but I aren't sure how many frames I would need to allow the face to change naturally and in the right time, so I may just stick with him having a straight expression throughout, as that would convey the sense of plain and boring that cardboard boxes exude in my eyes. I also think its funnier to have a character that is so boring he's actually oblivious to whatever is happening around him in the animation, as that's often what I feel like at work.
