Revised story

Because I am never quite clear--the new revised story is very similiar to the one planned out, minus the cat and the bell. Instead, the flower itself is this little creature which begins to eat a nearby flower, to show that he is garden eater pretty much. Mary in the end picks him up with a little half smile, showing she is more amused then scared by this little creature.

HOWEVER

Shadows begin to fall across Mary, as do other red flowers...her expression turns quickly to fear as she looks in the air to see hundreds and hundreds of these little buggers heading her way....oh the poor gal.

I am pretty sure this can fit all into 30 seconds--its just figuring out what sequence of cuts will work best to convey the story, as well as how to position that final moment of a swarm of red flowers heading her way. A silhouette shot of her and the flowers? A point of view shot? I figure I will have to try out both to figure out which one will work best to the dramatic and visually appealing factor.
