(SAE Animation Module) Short 10 Second Animation

A Short Animatic featuring Soda Bot, a made up Autonomous Soda Machine trying his best to serve customers in an apocalytic and deserted wasteland. For the Animation Module, we had to develop a 10 second 3D Animation which features some the 7 principles of animation. The idea for Soda Bot came mainly from the Samsung serving Machines - I wondered how a Serving Machine would behave when no one was around. In this case, the Bot tries his best to serve customers by any means, even though no living Human seems to be left in his World. The Bot is supposed to be clumsy and have somewhat of a more cartoon-like personality (I wanted him to be a typical charackter in a family friendly animation film). In the final Storyboard, Soda Bot looks around to find a potential customer. After registrating one, he cant hold his excitment and prepares to zoom into the direction of the signal. However, he is too fast and bounces of the side of the car. After a short pause in the air, he slams down to the ground.
