Male And Female Character Turnarounds
Male and female turnarounds, to help tell the difference between the characters the female is a shade of pink with eye lashes and breasts.
Main Character Concept Art
Some concept of our main character in a very square world. also this design he hasn't got clothes or stickers instead more simplistic and more robotic looking.
Character Design stages
Just some quick concept on how our main character is looking. Alan said go with a simple design and we came up with the character anatomy being made out square shames like the pixels with have in our idea.
second image shows our character with clothes or with stickers as clothing.
Hacked Storyboard
After going through several story drafts we finally settled with the story of an innocent man leaving a cafe, he gets a notification on his phone and when he goes to check his social book he gets hacked by an anonymous person. The man thinks that the hacker is in the vicinity so he runs into the park where theres people to look for the culprit but ends up seeing his face on the bodies of other people while slowly loosing his own identity. Finally he sees his reflection in which he has no face anymore and gets approached by a person with his face who shows signs of being the hacker.

Identity Theft Concept Art
Just some concept art for our Identity theft idea, this is not the main character just to show an idea of what the pixels on the face may look like.
The Voxelator
This looks like what we want our characters to look like. If we can send the models to 3ds Max, we can do this.

Cyber Warfare: Underlying Themes
Frame XIII have decided to move forward with our cyber hacking idea for the 1970-2000 communication age. So in turn the themes have to be analysed around hackers and how they fit into society or better yet how they try to separate themselves from society; "Most are also relatively individualistic and anti-conformist." (The Jargon File, http://catb.org/jargon/html/index.html)
Hackers are usually seen vile criminals that rank amongst murderers and other sort of top class outlaws. In a general sense of right and wrong this can be seen as true as hackers usually cause trouble for individuals or even companies, ranging from misdemeanour crimes to full on invasion of someones personal life.
The odd truth behind the hackers psyche is in fact knowledge. "The most obvious common ‘personality’ characteristics of hackers are high intelligence, consuming curiosity, and facility with intellectual abstractions." (The Jargon File)
They seek to improve their talents and challenge themselves with new hacking tasks, sometimes resulting in innocent people having their lives troubled in the process.
In a sense the same can apply to a really strong person with the knowledge to fight anyone. He may choose to refine his skills without involving the outside world or he may decide that his power will let him be superior to everyone else and fight on the streets.
The hacker, instead of muscles, uses his brain. An expert hacker will normally be a highly intelligent person, whom outside of his hacking practises, will partake in other mentally stimulating interests or jobs. Like the strong muscle man, the hacker also knows he has the ability to be dominate over the rest of mankind, over the internet; whether he chooses to use his skills to cause havoc for others or just to further his knowledge is another question.
The main theme in our animation is the idea that the hacker can be anyone of us, with the knowledge and potential to ruin someones life with the push of a button, and that this has only become possible through the push of technology and communication.
