Right, just a quicky this week as I want to go see Sir, Allen fire some knob, but I feel I need to do something productive as I have spent the last hour trying to do my film review and have come away with little more than a paragraph; the whole writing thing aint happening today.
So, work. Robots is coming along nicely. I must admit that I spend days wondering if we will ever get it done but I am having a good day at the moment. This is mainly due to Ben’s superb puppets which look like they will be a joy to animate, so maximum kudos to you mr.dennett. We are onto set building tomorrow which we are going to try and keep as simple as possible to save on time.
See, I wasn’t lying, it is very short
Byyyyeeeeeeeeeee

Set Design!!
Easter is over and here I am bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to learn! (supposedly) Yay!! What glories tales of my exploits do I have to tell you all then? Well, I have become an avid watcher of Timmy Time (here’s the intro) and have successfully lowered my mental age to single digits as a result. I try to convince myself that I watch it to study the animation, which is very good by the way, but it is actually quite entertaining, although Timmy does come across as a bit of a smart arse at times. I also did a bit of work when the fancy took me.
Robots! My tasks over Easter was to finalise the set design and shoot some reference stuff for the animation. So here I have oodles and oodles of concept work of the sets and some screenshots of 3D models that I made of them. In total there are three sets that we are using; the Sarge’s office, outside the shopping mall and the shopping mall itself. We may also need to produce some simple backgrounds for the intro but were not 100% what’s going on with that yet.
As I have mentioned the past the overall look we want for the sets is a futuristic but tacky 60’s/70’s kind of vibe with a very drab colour palette. I deliberately designed the Sarge’s office so that it got narrower at one end, making the Sarge look bigger. I also envisage this set being quite small and cramped.
I have designed the exterior of the mall to be quite simple to save on build time; most of it will consist of textured boards and a backdrop.
In the interior I want the Mars Travel Agency to be the main focus so I have made that a nice orange to stand out against the bluey gray of the rest of the set. I have also tried to leave quite a lot of scope for visual gags in the store front and billboards.
Well that’s all for now…until next week!
