The Blue Bot Group

Our stop motion animation short idea is about a robot going fishing. It evolved from a 3-D printed blue robot. I found a free 3-D printer plan on a site called Pinshape. The creator of the articulated robot, Tony D of commandodesigns.com, only asks for credit to use his design. My husband printed the robot for us and as a group Averill, Shannon and I drew up a story board for our movie short. Our Robot, out to become more human, decides to go fishing. He pushes his small row boat into the water and climbs in with his fishing pole. As he travels down the river he begins to realize how difficult a task this is. He becomes bored and frustrated. Then he catches a huge fish, only to fall overboard trying to pull it in. He swims over to an island where he climbs out and finally does catch a fish to cook over his fire. We are planning to shoot in black and white to highlight the modern robot learning an ancient human task of fishing to provide food.
