WIP 11 sec club character profiles

Disaster today at this weeks feedback session. My scene I've build for the Time Machine idea doesn't quite get the idea across to the audience as clear as it should, I thought perhaps the giant clock spinning in reverse may give it away, but after I'd shown the idea to Penny for the first time she had no idea what was going on. I think the biggest problem might have been that the animation was too fast, so the audience doesn't quite get the chance to absorb whats going on in the scene. I was hoping the door opening would give the idea that the two characters were in a machine, and the large clock

So I've been researching a few ideas under the theme. And came up with with two character profiles to refine the idea:

The Inventor

Name: Mrs Crawley

Age: 25

Power centre: lower abdomen

A over ambitious apprentice scientist who’s always bursting with bright colourful ideas. She loves to tinker with gadgets, build new things and be creative as she can be. Problem is her ideas are usually associated with her unusal obsession for cute animals and stuffed toys.

Personality (strienghs/weaknesses)

Mrs Crawley is a very creative, over-sensitive person. Her mood can sometimes switch from overexcited and hyper to really upset and depressed, but never angry. Most of the time she’l be jumping aaround in excitement over a new invention or talking to herself. She genuinely takes everything to heart.

Ambitions

Mrs Crawley wants to graduate from being an intern, and have the opportunity to work with her supiroior Mary, building huge sophsipicated machinery.

Rythem

 rapid, continuous but can switch to super slow, and mellow

Animal

Dog

The Professor

Name: Mary Finningan

Age: 68

Powe senter: upper chest

Experienced and over qualified Professor, Mrs Finningan has been has seen it all. She is the head of the the high tech gadgets and new robots department for the company. Even though it is her job to teach the interns, she cares little for other people and has become quite self obsessed over the years, although she does enjoy the occasional gloat.

Personality

Posh snobby and very professional. She is also well groomed, she takes pride in her appearance making sure her hair is tied up in place and all suited up.

Ambitions

To be recognised by the world for her talents and awarded by other members of staff. She aims to remind everybody who the professionals are.

Rhythm

Slow, but very intimidating and big.

Animal

Siamese Cat
