In this post i m gonna tell what to do if you want to make short animated movie. Few points to keep in mind are:
1) choose story which is short and good.
2) story must have very few characters.(4 maximum)
3) its better if there are no needs of dialogues for story. Expression should say it all.
4) Try to choose story which starts and ends at same place. Thus you can reduce burden of relighting the scene and modeling lots of prop.
5) Concentrate more on screenplay and character design.
6) give yourself one year to develop whole short.
7) its good if your character wear tight clothes.
8) decide working pipeline before anything. Always open yourself to problem solving rather than just quitting if your pipeline don't work.
9) Have lots of reference and always back up your file.
10) Music should be good but sound effects should be excellent. Should match very precisely with action of you characters.
This post only prepares you to start with your short. I have my own experience of working with short movie and i have really enjoyed it.
