Pitch II - Changes

Elevator: A superhero tries to save a woman who can save herself.

So, the opening scene is going to be of Lee receiving an award for bravery from the mayor.  Lisa is in the crowd, watching.  Her purse gets snatched, and she takes chase after the man, screaming at him to stop.  Lee excuses himself with a dazzlingly, claiming to have to save a damsel in distress and runs after her to help.

Lisa is led into an alley where we see people with similar clothing to the purse thief appear and begin to crowd around her.  Lee arrives, seemingly in the nick of time, and begins giving a speech, scolding their awful ways.  And as he keeps talking and talking, the hot air coming from his mouth is literally keeping the thugs at bay.  Lisa, not seeing him actually taking action, begins to clobber the thugs, knocking them all out before Lee even realizes that they're not there.  Stunned, he stares at her as Lisa dusts herself off, grabs her purse, thanks him, and begins to walk away.  Lee, tries to stop her, asking if there really isn't anything he can do for her.  He attempts to stop her, and she looks around, telling him honestly that there isn't anything that he can help her with.  Deflated and embarrassed, he stares after her.

Later that day (because it would be way too convenient if she just ended up next to the dry cleaner because of the fight), she trades in the dry cleaning ticket for a super hero outfit of her own.  When she turns around, he's standing behind her in normal clothing, speechless.  She smiles, makes a comment like "Fancy meeting you here," and we see her put on her mask as she walks out, him turning to look at her in the background.

Focus for piece: I want to A) attempt hand painted backgrounds.  I think it will be a good opportunity for me to get away from the screen and use my painting skills.
B) I want to focus more on emotions and body language.  I'm terrible in this department and good animations can't live without it.  If I can actually make two characters that seem alive and actually react to each other, then I'll be happy.
