My Seven Sentence Story

Concept---Jimmy gets ready for his driving test that seems like a nightmare

(Experiences of driving behind a student driver )
1. Jimmy woke early one morning to get ready to take his drivers test before school
2. Jimmy’s mom, Martha, was hesitant to take him knowing he didn’t have much experience driving yet or even studied for the test
3. It had been raining all night leaving a lot of fog in the morning
4. Jimmy and Martha arrived at the DMV and Jimmy waited in the car for his instructor to join him
5. Martha stayed behind waiting anxiously for Jimmy to return with the results
6. Even after a few minutes on the road, the fog still very heavy, Jimmy was instructed to leave the right lane and enter the left
7. Without looking over his shoulder first, Jimmy preceded to do so and hit the car driving next to him. When they arrived back at the DMV and the instructor advised him to practice a little more before he took his test again.

Your story sounds like it could easily be done with actors and film and there is no need for animation. i think you should add something that greatly exaggerates your story to make it more "animatable".

It would be hard to communicate that it rained all night previously and now there is a lot of fog, without a lot of dialogue. You'd also need to show that Jimmy is preparing for his drivers test in some way and probably exaggerate his nervousness about the test.

There needs to be more obstacles to make the story more interesting. Like a bird that flies directly at the car, or Jimmy sneezes which causes the car to swerve.

Great idea but take it to the next level. This would easily be filmed rather than animated. I think the best thing for this story is to goof it up a little more, make it zaney.
