Dr. W is a delirious doctor who’s always searching for the truth of the natural facts of life. He hosts a general knowledge TV show and on each episode he will explain things in his own funny, ironical and sar-castic way. Dr. W is really stubborn, he is not afraid of anything and will do what ever it takes to get to bottom of things.

SINOPSYS

The aim of this project is to create the character named ´Dr Woody´, who is able to present a wide range of subjects, no matter how hard, painful or complicate it might seem. Dr Woody (Dr W) will give the audience a straight and concise answer to everyday subjects of interest, including addressing how a cut heals, how evolution works and how to prevent illness. He might even explain the importance of boiled water , the difference between sexes or why and how people grow old and die. Dr. W. is all, cruel and sweet, he is a doctor, a clown and a magician. He will use any means possible and impossible to explain himself and to address any problem that life has on offer.

Dr. W’s animated series is a project based on the special features of the main char-acter, his extreme physical appearance and behaviors, that leave the door open to

a wide range of approaches on the script and directing decisions on each episode, that will use different techniques (2D animation, cut-out) to expand Dr. W’s ex-planations.

The concept applied to the art, script and also the execution of the animation will be focusing on “extremes”. The concept is characterised and represented by our doctor, whose face and red hair resembles a classic circus clown, who is extremely thin, powerful, scary and also funny, showing his acid humour and his fearless atti-tude just towards everything. However, he does not appear flawless and sometimes he will even become the affected being that the episode refers to: a headache, the flue etc.

THE CONCEPT

D R W ! ! A n i m a t e d T V S e r i e s

2 6 x 4 ’ , 6 t o 9 Y e a r s

Dr. W. will perform in an empty space where he summons the objects or ani-mations he needs to proceed; for exam-ple he might simply draw directly on a board and the drawings will come to life or he might perform something riskier and more spectacular, like time travel. He might even act directly on his “assis- tant”, who is the sound engineer of the show. Dr W might call him up front in one of the episodes to ex-plain how and why people sweat, and many other things. He will be wearing a T-shirt that will say “tester” (that’s Dr. W’s idea, of course).One of the specialities of Dr. W’s show is that the camera will play a key role throughout the development of the series. He. might interact with the camera as if it was the viewer´s eyes. At

times he will talk to whoever is be-hind the camera, like the director,

the cameraman etc.. Dr. W. might also bring a mosquito or a Neander-

thal to the set, that will chase everyone around at the end of the episode. Here the camera will show us how they run around, from the the low perspective of the floor where the camera had been dropped.The animation will underline this extreme concept: the timing will be fast and jumpy with an emphasis on pose to pose animation and going from the almost still figure of Dr. W. to a full motion action. Dr. W. will be talking to the screen very theatrically, perhaps with sudden pauses in order to let the message sink and resuming his speech with a burst of dynamic speed.

Dr. W:

His Name is Woody Bonepecker. Nobody knows where he comes from or has any information about his age and his powers. His abilities will unfold throughout each individual episode. He is direct and cruel, not on purpose, but he just acts like he feels, almost like a child playing. His hilarious per-sonality and mysterious powers are an explosive combination that will be exposed when it comes to explain the different subjects in his show. When he starts to act on a subject matter, anything can happen.

A u d i e n c e :

Live audience is also a very important character because, even if we don’t see them all the time, their reactions which we can hear will set the tone to the Dr. W’s show, and will emphasize the emotions, lead-ing the viewer to a more complex experience of the episodes.
