Water
another movement in nature that i love is that of water. both waves and flowing of rivers create incredible shapes which i think could animate to look really great. Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai is an example of a visual style i could do use.

this animation by Alexander Petrov based on Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea has some amazing scenes of the sea. the book is also a really incredible story and i suggest reading it!
ripples
the ripples you get in water look incredible. i was thinking i could use them to suddenly change the viewers perspective on what there watching by rippling the screen upon the impact of one of the objects in the animation.
Drops
i was thinking water drops would be an interesting thing to have a go at animating as they make great shapes and the principles are very easily applied to them as water changes it shaped very easily
underwater
i really want to have underwater as the location for one of my animations. i am inspired to do this because of the colours and physics that are available to you underwater. i also like the little bits of dust and sea stuff that you see floating past the camera when filming underwater and want to replicate that. you can see in Studio Ghiblis Ponyo how incredible the locations can be made to look.
this animation by Lois van Baarle shows a great use of the lighting and physics underwater and if i were to do a underwater location i would draw my inspiration heavily from this.
Microscopic stuff
i have been reading lots about science and i'm currently really interested in it. i was thinking a good thing that i could animate which dose not need to be made up of very many complex shaped yet moves in a natural way would be microscopic life and cells.
the computer game Spore has a part in it where you play as a microscopic lifeforms. the visual style is a stylized cartoon version of the real thing. you can see it below.
this video contains some 3D animation showing how the flu virus invades the human body.
subatomic particles
im also interested in subatomic particles. as they are very simple structures and some are contradictory in there nature appearing as both particles and waves (the stuff im reading is a few decades old so im not sure if it still stands). i think it would be cool to try interpret them in an animation.
Bubbles&Balloons
again like lots of my other ideas i was thinking that balloons and bubbles would be interesting things to animate and i could apply the principles to them.
Speakers and sand experiment
the patterns that are generated when you do the sand on a speaker experiment are really interesting and there sudden change between one another are quite gripping. if i where to do something more abstract i could use this idea. it would also fit very well with the idea of kaleidoscopes
