Gavin/Somebody Else - Lighting is important in the Crooked Cop character. The shadows cast from his hat and underneath of his eyes give him an ominous, threatening feeling. Symbolism is used here to represent that the Crooked Cop is sinister, and is clearly the villain in this duo. The mood on the Crooked Cop is very dark and very intimidating, as he is the villain and must be portrayed as a harsh character. All of this is exactly opposite from the other Charlie Chaplin like character, who has very bright lighting, very little shadows, and a very upbeat mood to him, symbolizing a fun character who is clearly good.
Jarrett/Haley - Nerd Boy and the Sorority Girl super villain were very interesting concepts, I enjoyed them a lot. I especially enjoyed the animation, for it's creativity and my extreme distaste for Pencil. The movements between the two characters are pretty much parallel, since both characters are essentially built the exact same way. The only difference between the two is that Nerd Boy can fly somehow, which Sorority Girl cannot, since she is just a normal person. The weight between the two characters is very much the same, again, because they are simplistic drawings and aren't supposed to represent anything to extreme or fascinating, just a normal guy and girl.
Jesse - Jesse's partner's hero wasn't posted on his blog. The Illuminator is a character that controls light as his super power, with a pretty decent Pencil animation accompanying it. Lighting is again important to this character, as it plays a major role in the character's story. The lighting is symbolic of the character's powers, as he is able to control light and use it to fight evil. The Illuminator can create his own mood through lighting, again, because he is able to control it, making it day or night, light or dark, giving off a sense of good or evil or threatening or inviting.
