Stop motion

Sorry I haven't been posting for the last few days. I have been working on another project.
A stop-motion movie.
I have come up with a lot f theories for how to make a good story. Here is my best one.
1. Come up with a basic idea (You can share dreams, the gods are alive in the united states, there is a pill that makes you smart, Wizards and witches live among us).
 2 Build on that idea until you have characters real enough to carry an ID.
3 Start with the ending and work backwards.
4 Find a means of distributing your story.
My mean of distributing it is, of course, a stop motion movie. I know most people do a claymation or something like that, but I am doing a bionicle moc (My own creation) stop motion. If you are not aware, bionicle is an extremely intricate lego design system, although the story is really confusing. Here are some pros of a bionicle stop motion.
1 They all look unique (With clay-mation they could start all looking the same after awhile)
2 No talking (They don't have moving jaws, so just take a picture of their face and put in the words)
3 No mess, unless you count a thousand little plastic peices everywhere.
Despite that, they do have cons. Thye don't look like real people and everytime you need an extra you have to craft an entire new one.
My story is called the apple of discord. Basically, there is an object that the brain always associates with desire, so when you see it you automatically see what you want most (A distant parent sees their kids happy, a man in debt sees all the money he could ever want, a widow or widower sees their spouse again). There is another thing. Your brain never gets tired of looking at it. You could stand in front of it as your body withers away feeling completely content.
Creepy, huh?
