Animatic for Animated Pilot about autistic girl with Psychic Powers

Hello,

My name is Arran Bull. I'm 22 and I'm an autistic man who's doing a master's Course in 2D animation. I am currently developing a pilot for an animated show called Psychic Maria, a show about an autistic girl with psychic powers. The show revolves around how autism affects Maria's powers compared to her neurotypical older sister Sam while they fight bad guys from society and getting through high school.

I have created a rough storyboard animatic for the pilot and I'm looking for some feedback. Especially from autistic women, as I want to make sure Maria as a character is authentic to girls with autism, and the show is enjoyable for both neurotypical and neurodivergent people. Here's a link to the animatic if you guys fancy a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlnB-tRSDbY 

Maria was also in a short film I created for uni last year, where she tries to mask her autistic traits to get through high school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCLvsSfid-Q

I look forward to hearing your comments. Any feedback would be very helpful. Thank you!

  • I thought the animatic was really creative with a healthy balance of comedy, charm and a nice dose of city pop. I like the dynamic with the siblings and found Marias depiction to be believable. I look forward to seeing the final animation.
