Short film ideas

I want to make a short film especially whilst we're in lockdown since it will keep me busy and give me good practice.

However I'm stuck for ideas. No one will help me or act in the films so it's just me and my equipment. I personally don't like acting in my own films so I'd have to film other things...most likely objects.

I want to be able to post it on YouTube and my Instagram once it's finished so I need to bear copyrighted music in mind.

Here are some ideas:
1. A Charlie Chaplin style slapstick comedy with no talking.
2. Since you don't want to act in it, give your equipment characters and personalities and build a storyline around humanised objects
3. A light-hearted mystery starring a pet (if you have one)
4. A film using shadows instead of people
your could make a stop motion type film where like a teddy or something goes on an adventure though the house (similar to Toy Story and etc) as if its the first time the teddybear has been in the house and you add voiceover. what about that?
You could use a pet cat or dog as the star
