WEEK FOUR



(I did have all of my previous storyboard ideas but i have lost them as hard copies (sketches)and also the memory stick that they were on - i was hoping to find them before posting but ill add them at a later date however annoying it is!!!)


My final story idea:

The first scene starts with a mechanical sun and moon moving accross the window outside, they start off after some rain and them start moving fast to show the changing of days, then finally slow down. As they do it starts to rain again in front of the mechanical sun.

Inside, the camera pans accross objects in shadow and follows wires all linked together stragely until it reaches the corner of the room where there is a very small work bench. Above the work bench in the celling there is a hole that is letting water in from the rain, and below which is a small circuit designed to press a button once the convieniently placed cup is filled. The idea is that the machine that has been built in the room was designed for charging up the main character - a robot. The machine and the robot can only charge to a certain amount (indicated by lights) and then they both switch off so the robot has to have a way of re-charging even after he has run out of power - hence this strange circuit. Once the button is pressed the machine starts which is all custom made by the robot using objects from the 1940's, including himself. The lights also become brighter at this point. As the machine powers up so do the sounds building the beat. All the sounds are made from all of the objects i mentioned earlier that make up the machine.

Once charged the robot 'un-plugs' himself from the machine and walks towards the cupboard in the back of the room. Inside there is a smaller robot that has been made by him. The main robot then pulls a battery from a case on his body and puts it into the smaller one. As he does this the smaller robots eyes light up and the main robots eyebrows raise as if to be smiling.

He was using the power to build a friend..

Then the camera dips to black.
