Pre-Production Methods: Woody Allen research

One of the pieces of feedback I gained from my pitch was that my character bore a resemblance to actor Woody Allen. While this was initially unintentional, I was pointed out to how Allen often plays neurotic and anxiety ridden characters and his films. Afterwards I decided to look at Allen's facial structure. Below is a PhotoShop drawing of my character based on Allen. I think my character looks a lot more nervous here.      

Pre-Production Summer Pitch Presentation

During the Summer, we had to create an idea for a short animated film that we would produce during the second semester as part of our Final Major Project. We would then do the Pre-production concept work in the first semester. My idea was about a superhero with anxiety, as it meant I could tackle two topics that I feel passionate about.
