My suggestion is, Anecdote Studio Team members leave a comment on this post with your opinion to each question, for example 
1) a
2) c
or -  if none of the options, write your suggestions for each question.
Then I'll look at the data and show if we all agree on a particular bit and what might need further discussion.

  1. Mix and match! :D
    ok for me its:

    1- i like the idea of a stupid character so either he's "A" the american dad or "C" the young idiot
    2- A
    3- B/C
    4- B (Im kidding!!) :P
    5- a bit of both "B and C" not a veteran but an idiot doing his bit but fails
    6- B
    7- A
    8- I like the idea :D
    9- A

  2. 1) A/B (The all-American man would be probably be the best option as it would give us more room to mold him into something more intricate. Given his situation too, he could also be an all-American man volunteering to do his part.)

    2) A (What I'm thinking of for this animation is a sort of PSA to be taken seriously on what to do in certain situations)

    3) B (I think the best way to do this is to give him as much room as possible and put him somewhere were he'll have easy access to different objects to interact with during the presentation. EG: ducking under a picnic table, picnic blanket. It would also give us more resources to work with. 'Out in public' is a very broad term.)

    4) A (Well er-... yeah. It's the only option there. :P )

    5) A (The All-American Dad would fit perfectly with this option.)

    6) B (Since I'm thinking of a PSA film, a Public Safety Announcer would also fit well with this.)

    7) A (The punchline could be that he eventually rolls off the screen with a frown on his face, but holding nothing in his hand. I'm not sure where the $10 bill would come from in my version of the story.)

    8) Aye-aye, Cap'n!

    9) A (I think this would work best with the types of inventions being displayed. For example, a serious person wearing something silly normally has more comedic value than a silly person wearing silly things.
