Scenario 1
There is a long line of boxes, as if on a conveyor belt. (You don’t have to model the conveyor belt – just pretend it’s there.)
The robot lifts the box at the head of the queue and stacks it in a pile at its side.
Once the robot has finished stacking a box, the rest of the boxes move forward one place, and the process is repeated.
Suddenly, a box appears with a BALL on top of it.
The robot is surprised.
The ball bounces onto the robot’s “head”, bounces two more times on the robot’s head as if teasing the robot, then bounces away.
Animate both the bouncing ball and the robot’s reactions throughout the scene.
1. Character
Give a name to your robot.
Imagine that while it is doing its mechanical work, the robot is actually thinking to itself. Write a brief paragraph of what the robot might be thinking – write the thoughts from the robot’s point of view, ie. imagine it is speaking the thoughts out loud, if it could.
The thoughts must be relevant to the scenario that you choose.
Note: these should be the robot’s thoughts before the inciting incident – not while it is reacting to the inciting incident.
The name of my robot is R30. This is a robot that is happy with its daily routine, which is lifting boxes and stacking them in a pile. It likes the consistency of the job and thinks to itself, "The work here is easy and predictable. I like that there are no surprises."
Draw a storyboard of your animation before you start the actual animation work. This should be uploaded to your web journal by the end of Week 15 (ie. Aug 5).
Your storyboard should also highlight the key poses of the robot.
