New Ratcliff colour. In a general shot with the 3 characters, the original colour of Ratcliff might not stand out enough. The mustache is better off black but the skin colour can be played around with in order to stand out next to Flora and Lieutenant.

"final" colours:
Balanced the colours of the puppets so they would stand out more in comparison to Flora's hair. Focus on the blue moustache of the rat puppet and the yellow eyes of the cat puppet. (not to scale)

Feedback
Peers: Although my classmates like the red haired Flora the best, they think that it will stand out too much when put together with the puppets. They think Flora should be somewhat plain to reflect a good level of transparency.
Tutor: Keat suggests that Flora doesn't need to be plain. Being the heroine, it's fine if she stands out and having bright hair doesn't take away the fact that she is a poor orphan. Instead, I could balance the colours of the puppets in a way that would balance and attract the eye when the 3 characters are in the same shot.

Summary Description:
In the 6 seconds sequence, Flora and her 2 puppets participate in a staring contest, inspired by "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" 3-way stand-off scene. The scene will consist of close shots coming back and forth from Flora's eyes to the puppets' eyes. I would like the scene to finish with a general shot of Flora flabbergasted, watching her 2 puppets screaming or barking at each other. The scene takes place in a 19th century London-inspired city, in front of a toy store (that part will be done with a flat 2D background).
I'm translating the western scene from "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" to a fantasy scene set in the 19th century. The store and the accessories used will be linked to that period with outfits and architecture.

Simplifying design for 3D and further puppet concepts:
aristocrat mouse female /aristocrat mouse male /worker class mouse male
detective cat/ villain mouse front/ villain mouse side
detective dog/ policeman dog/ scientist dog

Change of mind about the genre: Im
going for fantasy. Setting would be 1800s London like city and the
little girl, Flora is a poor orphan. She performs a puppet show in
the street to earn a few pennies. She builds her puppets with
everyday finds from the street and the design of the puppets should
include accessories reminiscent of Flora's Era. She can perform in
front of a toy store window shop. One day her puppets will start
talking on their own. Flora hears them and picks them up. The staring
contest 5 second scene (the good the bad and the ugly reference)
starts then and eventually the puppets start talking again. Flora is
delighted and the puppet show gains in popularity. The colours of the
city are dull and dark, but when Flora and her puppets perform, an
enchanting light and saturation in colours happen, the public takes
great pleasure in watching, as if a spell is mesmerizing everyone. At
the peak of popularity of the show, every kid in town trade their
fancy toys for sock puppets and the toy store hires little Flora to
perform for them.

Choose an iconic film sequence
my pick: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
(3-way standoff)
The brief limitations:
-minimal voice over or none at all
-only 1 character
-represent a distinct genre of film
My idea around the 3-way standoff,
because the restriction of the brief is to have one character playing
with 2 sock puppets. This way, although there is only one character
to design, the scene would actually play as if 3 distinct characters
are having a staring contest.
I want to turn this intense wetsern
scene into a modern family movie comedy, with the main character
being a little girl playing with her puppet toys.
