Storyboards and Animatics

My group and I were discussing of making our own type of futuristic robot by using the robot research to help us and having our robot with a simple texture colour. As result of my group members just drawn good design robot to help us and we all agree to choose this robot design as the protagonist. Also planning a storyboard and putting it as a animatic. Therefore this is my own storyboard to get rough imagery. 

1. Title Sequence 

2. The machine is building the robot

3. The machine is putting the emotional chip on the robot

4. The machine is putting the robot with the other robots

5. A line of robots is ready for departure to build a city

6. The robot factory doors is opening

7. The robot walks out the factory into the woods

8. The robot is walking through the forest to reach for the city

9. The robot just stops and looks at the mysteriously abandoned playground

10. The robot freezes to shocking expression

11. The chip inside the robot went evolving

12. The robot changes his face expression to feel the child happiness 

13. The robot becomes strong emotionally happy robot boy 

14. The robot walks out of the forest to the construction yard
15. The worker asks the robot to do work, but the robot refuses




16. The robot slowly transform into a human, while the city is building up

 17. The robot the turns into a human boy.

After I had completed my sketch, I collect all of my sketches into a animatic to link with the music by using Adobe Premiere.



I had shown my storyboard to my teammates and we agree that it needs to be changed but we get the story idea. The replacements we planning to do is that Nadia will do the sketches, whereas Edgar and I we do the editing to make the storyboard animation.

The story needs to be changed bit, and we decided that instead of my simple rough idea. The final story idea is we have a factory with moving machinery building our robot, and then the robot walks out into the fields, and commands his fellow robots to cut trees to build a city. After they clear out trees, the city builds up by robot workers, and our robot finds a hologram of the old woods with kids playing around the playground and relies he's chosen the wrong path of cutting the trees. He then gathers his follow robots to plant the nature woodlands back, and he feels the child's emotional power inside him.

The programs we have used for our animatics are adobe Photoshop, Aftereffects, Premiere, Audition and Cinema 4D. My role in the editing is using photoshop to extract the drawings into pieces, and so edgar and I can make animation into after affects. After the we complete this objective, I went into youtube videos to look for sounds, so I can edit them into Audtion then install into Premiere to make the final animatic video.

However the crits from the audience, and one said the city 3D scene by Edgar is bit confusing the buldings keeping going up and down. However I need to tell and explain edgar that if we going to make the city going up, not down.
