Unfortunately I've no idea how you'd script a control such as that. I suspect that writing it in script as opposed to a native plugin would cause it to run far too slowly anyhow as for any sort of realistic movement you would want to be carrying out spline based transformations of the mesh as opposed to a straight linear interpolation (we've got endomorphs for that)...
The short sounds interesting. With two characters you could certainly get a decent comedy interplay going as well ... just remember that with any animation - the actual final print is only a part of it - you still need to have a damn good script otherwise it will just fall on its arse (after all, look at FF:Spirits Within - superb animation yet crap story - Square nearly went bankrupt)...
Still, whatever you decide on for the final short - just remember one thing - always strive for excellence...
