John's Interview: Tall Boss Character Model
Tall Boss is supposed to be an archetype of a stubborn perfectionist manager that does everything by the book. He is very respectful of the chain of command and therefore is always by short boss’ side. The character design was based on a lot of the culturally popular corporate figures such as Ego from Ratatouille and David Wallace from The Office. Tall boss as a result was designed with quite exaggerated proportions to do justice to his name and stature. Though very stubborn we didn’t want him to be very intimidating and dominate the screen since he is in fact second in command. As a result over the drafts Tall boss becomes quite slender and also a bit younger to make the hierarchy in positions even more evident.
