Concept for Animatic

I want my animatic to be very derelict and deserted so that most of the sounds made are coming directly from the main focuses, Francis Bacons figures.The background noises would majorly be strong winds and desert birds.

• They chase after it
• Meanwhile, sculpted mummies from the 'Mummy Mines' ride step down from their platforms and the sculpted ponies from the merry go round leap off
• David and the Sculptor still chase the baby dragon as the sky begins to get lighter
• The sun begins to rise as David chases it into a dark entrance of a ride he hadnt noticed
• He looks up to see that the ride is called 'The Sculptor' and there seemed to be a missing sculpture from it
• David turns around to see the Sculptor who had been walking and talking with him before, stiff like a sculpture he had made

From Script to Screen: Story behind Sculptor [Revisited 3]

Story #1

A murderer called the sculptor sculpts eggs and hides his victims in them and puts them in a very unexpected place. Meanwhile, Detective Whalts who was assigned to the case of two missing teens in a fairground is unaware of what he is chasing and will uncover. He ultimately discovers that what had appeared to be a mere disappearance of these teens is the plan of a murderous and psychotic genius who had been killing people, sculpting eggs to hide their bodies in and leaving the eggs in the indoor 'alien invasion' ride where they seemed completely normal to blend in and even complemented the theme of the environment.

Story #2

Sculptor has job at fairground to sculpt dragon model for a dragon roller-coaster being brought to the grounds. After making the main dragon he finds what appears to be a dragon egg behind the sculpture which he finds peculiar.  While inspecting the egg he feels heavy breathing on the back of his neck. Its the dragon he created come to life. looking around the park he realizes all the sculptures in the grounds had come to life including the mummy from the haunted house ride. Turns out that after 12am the models in the fairground come to life till the sun comes up. The mummy ended up taking the dragons egg to restore his life using the new life of the egg sealing himself in his coffin only opened with a key.  Under the demand of the dragon (who was sculpted chained to its post) he has to sculpt a key and get it before the sun comes up and the mummy is left with the egg in its coffin to restore his life at the expense of the egg.
