Futuristic Environment

For my animation I will create a house of the future. From looking at the sculpture house I will create the layout and furniture to a similar style. I will use shiny textures such as plastics, glass and metals for my environment. I have also looked at furniture that has been designed to be ultra modern and also designs that may not be possible in really life due to manufacturing techniques or laws of gravity. I also like the use of bright colours to add detail and depth to rooms that are minimal and usually black and white.

The sculpture House

In Sleeper the house that is featured is a house in colorado USA. The sculpture house was designed by architect Charles Deaton and is in a distinctive elliptical curve. It also features a large glassed wall to make the most of its views over jefferson county. The house is raised of the ground and looks like its almost hovering in the air adding to its futuristic look. It is also known as the Star Trex House, clamshell House, flying saucer house and my other main influence the jetsons. I like the aesthetics and the overall look of the building as its very futuristic even though it was built in 1963. I like the use of shiny/polished materials and glass as textures for my environment.

Sleeper!!!

In sleeper woody Allen Plays the part of a robot butler to escape capture. These robots are capable of doing the sort of things I would like my robot to do in my animation. I like the combination of a machine look but wearing butler clothes. I shall use these features in my robot design so it looks more like a butler than an ordinary robot. This way he shall match his job description and gives the audience an idea of the robots purpose in the animation. Watching this film has helped me fine tune my ideas and has helped to develop other ideas.

Sleeper!!!

Sleeper is a futuristic science fiction comedy film, written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman, and directed by Allen. The plot involves the adventures of the owner of a Greenwich Village, New York health food store played by Woody Allen who is cryogenically frozen in 1973 and defrosted 200 years later in an inept totalitarian state. The film contains several plot points which parody or spoof several well-known works of science-fiction, most notably H. G. Wells's novel The Sleeper Awakes and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Time for an update!

Robot butler

For the bots and banana project I will create a robot that has to fall over, trip and slip over. The design of my robot will be a robot butler, a robo-butler. I like the idea of it set in the future where every household has a robot to do their house work and daily chores. Although the robot has chores to do, they can all be achieved in seconds with the flick of a switch or the push of a button. This easy way of life has created a robo-butler of high intelligence that has nothing to do for most of the day but the simplest of tasks, this makes him feel unappreciated and underused.
