Topic: Reason (Update Thread)
Reason is a project I am about to begin based off of the Isaac Asimov short 'Reason' featured in his novel 'I, robot'. The story follows two robot maintenance engineers aboard a space station designed to harness the suns energy and transmit it to various planets. Their task is to field test the new robot QT1, or 'Cutie' as it is known, who is a prototype designed to take over the executive labour on the station and thus relieve it of humans. The robot however begins to question it's own existence and tries to figure out the 'truth' after rejecting the two humans explanations. 'Cutie' then comes up with his own theories, based purely on logic, which begin to cause problems for the engineers. The story progresses as the humans try to convince the robot of the facts. I won't go too much into the actual events of the story as I don't want to spoil anything.
The script for the film is fully written and features nine scenes. I have built one set which will cover two of the scenes and I am currently doing some animation and lighting tests on it. Production will begin within the next week and I post any updates on this thread.
Here are a few screenshots of the set so far.
