Comments:
Electrigirl—can absorb electricity from power sources around her and store it for future use. Gathering power is totally passive on her part, but the discharging of it is controlled.
Ok we are in—our concept is most of the way finished.
We will be doing a short sequence and using the Electricity based power.

Ok… since they’re due here goes nothin’… minus some editing changes (and adding real sound) that we would make if we had more time which I’m sure you guys will all point out :slight_smile: and my crappy acting skills (should’ve been wayyy more intense I think) …and not to mention Terance messing up my name in the credits… :banghead: We’re still both pretty happy with it.

The name was also changed to Super Begins because Beginnings looks really awkward, so I think we’re going to revise the strategy there too at some point.

Hope you all enjoy it:
