Hey, that's a great idea because I was thinking, we should have less personalities and more time spent with each, especially the 'moon' character being the dominant personality out of all of the others. 'The Devil' would probably be like 'The Moon' but at his most aggressive, dangerous and devious. I'm guessing if at any point the guy's going to snap and go to town, it's 'The Devil' personality that'll be present. 'The Moon' I think would be a lot more messing with the psychologist's head than physical aggression and I guess that's what'll make 'The Moon' the most dominant. Clever and deceptive, crafty, not just all out aggression with no thought attached. I'm happy to work with 6 personalities to be honest, alongside the main 'moon' personality, it's just we already kind of have personalities in play that can be hyper masculine and authoritative and don't want to get too bogged down. 6 feel good. If you don't agree though that's fine and we'll add 'The Emperor'. I had a look at your latest set of drawings, obviously we're thinking a different animation medium or style for each, but the features are good to keep with whatever styles we choose. Personally, I wouldn't mind adding some armature animation in one of them; I think it'd be especially good for the more spindly, skinny characters and give them some nice jerky, creaky movements? Rob knows a lot on that side of things too. Working organically for parts would be more hands on I think and satisfying, as well as working with the footage we get from whatever models we make and incorporating it into the backdrop and creating any action in after effects e.g. smoke and extra light etc. We have the green screen as well so I don't know which personality would work greatest as live action on the painted in backdrop? Possibly having the most dominant 'Moon' character as live action...? I don't know. Or choosing live action for a person we know who looks most like one of the personalities and can act it convincingly?
