Story Idea

I am creating a mini movie using "stop frame animation", where i will have people dressed up as the various characters in my story. I will use a combination of photographs and live action to try and make it look more interesting and to create the effect of someone flying. I will try to start taking my photographs over the weekend so I can begin to create my movie as I have already done some research. I have found videos of some examples of stop frame animation where there is live action, but also some 2D ones using cardboard or paper to give me a better idea of what I am trying to achieve. The idea is quite surreal, a superhero type story where a stereotypical "geek" will imagine herself turning into a superhero and saving the "cool kids" / bullies but returns to reality again only to be pushed to the ground once again and dropping a pile of books.
