Hi guys,
I am working with a team on a concept for animation, and is in need of some useful comments and ideas. It will be a narrative poetic story, like Tim Burton's films.
I will start the story:
There was two archeaologists, both husband and wife, and their pet, which is a pig. In search of historical artifacts, they settled down with a little house in the middle of wasteland. However, a landslide occurs and took his wife's life, covering the whole area.
So the man ended up with a painful heart, wearing ragged clothing and walking around the wasteland searching for his wife's remains. The pig will be sticking along with its master, with a torch on top of its head, helping to sniff for his wife's remains. Whenever the man found a valuable, like a watch, he would threw it away.
Suddenly, the pig went up a tiny sand hill, and a thing threw by the man hit the pig, which ended up the pig rolling down into the hole, which led to his house covered by the sand. Trying to save the pig, he went into the hole and found out that his wife's hat was struck between the hardened sand.
He felt quite delighted and went to pull the hat, but it did not budge. He continued to pull, but each action caused the sand to shake. The pig felt that trouble was coming by, and warned its master, but he ignored it.
The shake became more and more, the man took out the hat and carried his pig, throwing it out of the hole. In the end, he was buried alive.
In the ending sequence, we will show the pig digging for its master instead.

We hoped to get more ideas as we felt that the ideas were not that strong enough, thanks for the help in advance!
