My point of view for this short movie

I am the producer for this short movie, and Eddie is the director. Our purpose is making an attractive movie, so that all audiences will enjoy watching it.

I think the most attractive part of this short movie is human size robot fight with a man, I will try my best to make the robot as big as a real people, and looks like powerful and smart. I want to make this robot more violence than the other character of this movie, because I think it will be more attracting from this way, our human character want try his best to defense and counterattack.
On the other hand, I think the theme of this movie itself is interesting and attractive. Because robot does not commonly exist in reality, in the other words, robot comes from future, robot representing science fiction, future, high technology, high IQ and vigorous. People always want to know the future and also curious about anything from future, robot is another thing they concerning about.

charactor setting




There are two main charactors in this short movie, one is a real people, and the other is a human size robot. We want to make this robot looks like a real people, he can move, fight and even run. However, we want to make this short movie looks move attractive.
First things first, we want to make a human size robot, we have to collect several materials, for example, iron shelf, iron wires, plastic boxes, paper boxes and some used cans. We can make iron shelf as robot frameworks, and plastic boxes, paper boxes as his skin. On the other hand, we can use iron wires as robot fingers, two cans as his eyes.
Firstly, we must make sure that our robot can move, so that we cannot use too hard iron wires and iron shelf. If audiences wants to see a robot very close to a human, I think we better adding some stuffs on robot fingers, because if there just some iron wires as fingers, it will looks weird.
Finally, there are some pictures about robot, we just thinking about which one is more suitable for our robot.

Contextual research



This is a short film Eddie edited for research, to show the way we goning to make. as we can see this example here, some take mind be use animation technology to created. but there are still some Non-Animation take can be just use part of object to hand control it. it can help us to continue the sence and save part of filmmaking times.
