PART 1: Concept Development
2. Develop a character design for the sequence:
a) A summary description of your sequence, including a description of the genre it belongs to and its visual style (an example will be provided);
Tiny's Little Friend is a Sci-Fi Comedy short parodying Scarface's "Say hello to my little friend." scene, where Tony Montana (Al Pacino) shoots down a door in front of him with a grenade launcher, hitting five other people behind it. Scarface is originally a crime film. The scene is set in a rich, posh office both with room and lamp lighting. The palette consists of generally royal colours, such as red, black and gold. This sets the 'gangster mafia' theme of the sequence just before the action ensues.
In Tiny's Little Friend, the scene will be set in a steam-punk scene. The room will instead have a more sepia colour scheme (fit for the Industrial Age), while Tiny will contrast with a more futurists look. Against the other gangsters that have Victorian wear and industrial, steam-powered machinery, Tiny will be wearing a slick black suit, sunglasses and will be wielding a small yet lethal hand-gun that shoots a large orb of energy (referencing to Men in Black's Noisy Cricket gun). As Tiny shouts, "Say hello to my little friend." the door will explode once he fires his weapon.
While seemingly serious, the stark contrast, literal representation of the famous line and reference to the iconic weapon will transform this crime film into a Sci-Fi Comedy.
