Navigation - Drawn Storyboard Ideas - Second Idea

I believe this storyboard has alot of potential behind it because it has the key elements of a good movie in it which are a problem, a journey and some to fix the problem. So to develop this i am going to look at camera angles and focusing in on the most important objects in the scene at that time.

From doing this storyboard i have realised i have slightly missed out a few scenes and believe that the story needs a bit more umph behind it in terms of the attic as intially i was thinking of it as a metaphor and a box being like an attic to the robot. I feel it needs to be a real loft as if he has truely been locked away. Also i believe i will change the ending because it seems like this story could just go round in a cycle with the robot escaping.

Items that are associated with paintbrushes and different styles of paintbrushs

Navigation - Attic Reference Images

I have looked at different types of attics e.g clutered, converted, plain. Depending on which idea i go with will depend on what type of attic, if i am going with the doodling robot - i will use the clutered attic or if doing the leaning robot i will use the plain attic. Although for the idea about the artist using the robot to paint - i am just using the attic as a name for a toy shop as attics are usually clutered with toys.

I have been looking at different types of robots which i could use and i think for the animation and the audience it is going to be for i am going to go with the more childish and toy design

Navigation - My Three Storyboard Ideas

First Idea

- A kid gets fed up of playing with his toy robot so puts it in a box and his parent puts it in the attic - the robot gets annoyed and escapes the box and attic and starts doing doodles on the walls with a paintbrush - the kid gets blamed for the doodles and then catches the robot in action and grabs him and locks him away

Second Idea

- A robot is used to create an artists work with a paintbrush - the robot breaks and the artist tries to fix it - artist does on the hunt for a toy mender then comes across a shop called the attic, the owner fixes the toy and the artist is able to finish his work.

Third Idea

- A bloke builds a robot to paint , he trys it but it was not very good so stuck it in the loft, then whilst the robot was in the loft he got better and better at painting as he learnt more and more - he did loads more paintings then with no materials to paint on left - so the robot painted the attic, the owner went up to the attic as was looking for something and found all the robots and paintings and brang him down from the loft, then he got a leaflet about a competition and so got the robot to paint and image and he posted it then it won first place and the robot got a medal.
