New brief, 'Design, build and animate a model of a complex Bipedal Robot that can walk slip trip and fall.' I think it's pretty cool and I can hopefully use this task to build up my modelling and animation skills. The only problem is making it funny!
For me the slipping on a banana routine is probably overdone and represents an old type of comedy, so the problem remains how to make this funny? The idea that I have at the minute is to build up an aura around a character, almost like the first scenes of Star Wars.
From the first scene Darth Vader appears in you know automatically that he is important and a bad ass. What I would like to do is create a character or a robot in this case and make him look cool and scary maybe even using music to add to the aura. As we know though 'pride comes before a fall' and I think it would be more comic to build up a character before knocking them down to earth. It's just an idea anyway but I quite like it and I think its a more interesting way to use the tired old banana gag. It would be interesting to see how the animation of this works mainly having a very serious tone then imediately switching to a very silly and stupid. Anyway I've got 10 pages of designs to get on with so we'll see how it goes.
