Project UNE: The Brief

The task in hand is to Design and animate a model of a complex bipedal (two legged) robot that can walk trip slip and fall.
We are to use all our creative skills and media savyness to produce at least UNE minute of animation to demonstrate a walking robot that can slip on a banana peel or related gag. When doing designing and animating we are asked to think about articulation, timing camera shots compositing Foley (sound effects), texture and lighting.

My Initial idea was to make something that would be a bit ironic first idea that came to me would be to have a gangster type of robot looking hard that would come along step over the banana, then jump over a pot hole then get scared by something jump backwards, slip on the banana and then fall down the hole. I started a few sketches taking influence from the drumming character for the gorillaz (Russel Hobbs).

I thought after a while that at this stage creating a robot that looks quite lifelike would be quite a complex task and so i should look at something a bit more simple, i'm still working on some initial drawing and developing.
