Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto! - Starting Watermark Drafts.


Draft of how the starting composition will look like for the FB TV logo. The robot toy was chosen because dancers can relate to it as a visual metaphor for the literal 'Robot Dance'. It's entrance will make an impact.

took some pictures of the desired composition with my digicam and composed a graphical storyboard for me to reference.

I was taking a stroll down Bugis Village when i chanced upon this really cool robot toy. Fell in love with it instantly. I thought alot about what i could do with this sweet thing and an idea struck me pretty hard. I thought i had to get home to try that out. I was thinking if the Robot could play a 'mascot' role in the DVD arrangements. Thus i explored how this toy works... how it's movements and sounds could relate to dance in a certain way.

Thus i set up a white screen using cheap drawing blocks. And positioned my camera to capture certain movements of the robot toy. It was so much fun. Ideas were generated instantly. I then imported the shots to Final Cut Pro and started my fun with the footages.

I also took the chance to try out the shots and the completed composition on a standard 4:3 tv. Transfered the finished work to my camcorder and then played it back on my TV. Looks all sweet to me!
