Final Project Concept

For my final project, I want to use stop motion with paper cut outs like with my second project. My concept will be about a bird that sings in its cage, giving life into its environment through its song, only to sacrifice itself in the process. The environment will start off as gray, and as the song goes, it shifts into color. Maybe there are flowers that begin to bloom or the curtains begin to open to a beautiful day, etc. Once the song ends, the bird's life will also end.

The bird is a canary, and apparently the males are known for humming wonderful tunes. But in pairs, they don't sing their own trademark song. So, when they are alone, they sing because they are lonely.
