Spark of Inspiration

In my class tonight, illustrious Disney producer Don Hahn came to lecture about making a great film. I found his lecture very inspiring, and I know will apply his advice to my thesis film.

One of the things he focused on was how the character relates to the overall story. Of course there are a few things that go into this, but everything boils down to a simple concept: What does your character want, and why can't he/she have it?

This statement really struck me and I decided I wanted to create an image to capture this question and hopefully answer it. This drawing is based on a rough storyboard from my animatic.
