'The Wrong Response to..' - Character and Prop Design

Below are some of the ideas constructed from our phase of designing the characters and props for 'The Wrong Response to...'. It is important to us that we create props and characters which personality from the first moment of meeting them on screen, but also keeping them stereotypical enough to instantly know what their role in the skit is.

Character Design · Moom Poses

In the next set of poses, we have the old lady; sweet and innocent and a little bit quirky. Lastly, we have the mischievous robber, always up to no good. Meg will take these and apply our character designs over the top.  Lifeguard Pose/Skit 1 Swimmer Pose/Skit 1 Old Lady Pose/Skit 2 Robber Pose/Skit 2
