PJ3 - First Concept

For my concept i have come up with an idea to give life to something that is not alive. I have a bunch of small wooden animal different shapes and sizes, such as elephants, birds, horses. They are a reclipca of a real life animal but just way smaller and not alive. I want to use light drawing and shadow to create movement and colours to make them appear more real. Using light is an effective way to create a nature like background e.g sunset as a setting for the animals to be in. Having the bright halos around them will make them appear as if they are walking and giving of some kind of energy (life). The fact that the animals are small will give of an obvious clue that even though they are not real they do hold an aspect or realness to them. This is one of my inspirations:
