Possible Beginning and Ending Ideas...

BEGINNING:

- Radio Broadcast about electricity taking over before we see the candlestick sad.

ENDING 1:

- The candlestick is injured and makes it was back to the cabinet it came from. It doesn't make it and collapses.
- The owner picks up the candle, puts it on the cabinet and lights the candle because there is a party/gathering going on (The candlestick is used to set a relaxed mood in this circumstance).
- The candlestick jumps with joy and in doins so, accidentally puts out the flame.

ENDING 2:

- The candlestick is injured and makes it was back to the cabinet it came from. It doesn't make it and collapses.
- Owner puts the candlestick on a table where there are other candlesticks that have been lit.
- The other candlesticks notice the cabdlestick and one of them goes over to light the candlestick using their own flame.

I'm fairly happy with the idea for the beginning, bceause it helps us to establish the goal of the candlestick. As for the ending, i prefer the second idea beause it's a warm ending and the cadlestick reaches its goal of being noticed again and being useful. This ending particularly reminds me of the pixar shorts with the birds and toys because there is always one protagonist and then we are at some point introduced to other characters, in this case a warm friendly set of different style candlesticks, maybe to do with a candle party or something.
