After some feedback, I decided that a different setting would aid the narrative. So I changed the setting from a cityscape to a cave-like hideout that our hero would use a place of solace.
The story begins with the character watching a news report about a fire breaking out. In the darkness of his hideout, he begins to feel a great deal of doubt over whether he can truly help. He then hears a familiar voice and he turns around to see his teammate standing behind him. Once again the teammate (who I have now named Crimson Claymore) speaks words of encouragement, and the hero expresses his doubt.
These shots show the hero expressing his doubt, I added some inbetweens for the shots, both to save time, and to get a better idea of the timing of these shots. After remembering his friends, the hero once again feels his confidence returning, and this time I have given him a less angry look on his face and rather a more determined but still cheerful one. The only lighting that I wanted for this scene is from the TV, as I feel it will make the scene more dramatic, and I feel that it give off the feeling of doubt that our hero feels.
I also did some quick thumbnails for the hideout. When I was doing these I had in mind superhero hideouts such as the Batcave, but I also had a look at some of the hideout selections from the superhero videogame Champions Online. Along with creating your own superpowered character, you can also choose a hideout for that character, including hideouts that resemble basements. I felt that a basement or underground hideout would better suit someone whose anxiety would prompt solace and isolation.
