HERO: Po SHADOW: HERALD: Master Oogway THRESHOLD GUARDIAN: Master Shifu TRICKSTER: The Furious Five (Initially), Mr Ping (wanted Po to quit to focus on noodles, discouraged kung fu training) MENTOR: Master Shifu ALLIES: The Furious Five MOTHER: No one fills this role, although Po's Father could also be fulfilling both roles as a single parent FATHER: Mr Ping (Po's Father) CHILD: No one fills this role, perhaps Po is as he seems rather childish initially, playing with toys ect.. MAIDEN: No one to fill this role. I don't think Tigeress is the Maiden as she doesn't need rescuing and she doesn't really fall for the hero SHAPESHIFTER: Master Shifu
Morning Ollie - so yes, this format is much more immediate and to the point. We have a 'Goldilocks' model on the course - you know, when the porridge isn't too hot or too cold, but 'just right' ... I think that it's likely the client will ask you for more educative content here - i.e. that you express the principles in a clear way in some format that makes the information more instantly 'recognisable' to the curriculum etc. I think this version is much improved on your previous epic, but in reducing it as you have, I think something content is missing (so the porridge isn't quite at the the perfect temperature yet). One bit of advice would be to change the names of your characters so they include their original names more obviously - for example 'Captain Carbon' - as opposed to The Ashen Avenger - what this means is that young people revising from your film won't have to also remember what our hero personifications mean - The Glucose Golem is more powerful/memorable/useful for just including the word 'Glucose'. It's as I've said to a few students - the metaphor you're using must be subordinate to the information you're trying to get across - not the other way around. For example, in terms of other content on screen, finding a way to get the chemical symbols on screen as part of your character's introductions? I want you to think about you revising from your own animation and what you'd need/want from it in addition to the fun idea of them being this team of heroes. This is already much improved in terms of the 'do-ability' of this idea - but think now about opportunities to up the 'useful-ness' too.
