FILM SYNOPSIS:

Scientist in his secret lab in an abandoned fort has newly created a prototype robotic assistant that is capable of atomically generating many things, he names is Sunor.

To his dismay, Sunor can’t generate anything of use to the scientist and is discarded in an disheveled part of the lab.

Scientist finish Sunor’s successor, Fuor who is the perfected version that is blindly obedient and can create anything at all.

Meanwhile, while he’s been abandoned, Sunor has been experimenting with his capabilities and discovers that while they are limited with some creative ingenuity he can accomplish way more than he previously knew.

His first instruction for Fuor is to clean up the lab included the discarded early prototypes. Sunor fights for its “life” and manages to escape by using his new found skills to succeed in fighting and escaping.

Sunor escapes and leaves the scientist to attend to repairing Fuor and try to figure out how to mass produce them.

Character Sheet

SUNOR is a robot with magical powers designed and built by The Scientist.™ However, its powers of creation are limited by its programming, as it is only a prototype for its more powerful sibling, FUOR.

We're currently trying to decide on a character design. TV head or something more robotic?

Robot mask ideas

First project storyboard

Part one: The Scientist builds Sunor, a prototype robot with limited atomic manipulation powers capable of creating anything that isn't useful.

Part two: The Scientist tests Sunor and constructs Fuor, a robot with complete loyalty and unlimited creation powers.

Part three: The Scientist completes Fuor and sends it to destroy Sunor to remove the evidence of his creations.

Part four: Fuor attacks Sunor. Sunor barely escapes, realizing at the last moment how to bypass the restrictions set in place by The Scientist. However, having less experience with total control, it cannot defeat Fuor.

Part six: Having escaped, Sunor begins repairing itself, testing its powers, and learning. The Scientist repairs and upgrades Fuor, and works to begin mass production.

Location shooting

؜The pictures above are from Fort Revere, our original shooting location. It was chosen due to its post apocalyptic look with dark hallways and having a rundown structure. After some thought, this location was changed due to the to travel time which was typically 1h 30 mins. Later, we visited two other places, one abandoned and the other a castle which was a tourist spot. After our three failed attempts at finding a location, not only two days ago we went down to a park and shot our final product.

EXPLAIN A SHOT, ANGLE OR AUDIO EDIT: What's cool about your film?

This film is able to capture a certain level of comedic effect through its use of popular sound effects and music. One audio edit that I find interesting about the film is the fight music, its both laughable and fits well with the story of the film.

Synopsis

Phone addiction has become a common experience across the world. The digital landscape is consuming more and more attention, time, and human connection as we become more reliant on its interface. We spend more time typing then talking to one another. Our protagonist lives in a world where spoken language is obsolete due to being unused and not taught to children. Upon coming across several news articles revealing that people once spoke the words they now type, their journey begins. They come to find out that there had been reports of a local forrest with abandoned books on how to speak. Running there, they find the book bringing it back home. They spend weeks teaching themself how to sound out letters. until eventually they learn their first word.

How will they figure out how to speak in a world thats forgotten how to? A world thats forgotten how to live outside the borders of a screen?

Synopsis

؜.....Our story follows a man named Isaac who questions his sanity through his battle with a lovecraftian deity that tries to kill him because he is a messiah that he needs to get rid of. Isaac is alone at his office at night because he worked late, when a robotic voice booms across his small town. He wanders around trying to investigate small noises and rustling that alludes to something more happening. but is it...

In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the west struggled with these questions through mechanical people called 'automata'. These mechanical dolls seemed to express qualities of human awareness and experience–both the rational (mechanical) and irrational (what's that?!). At the beginning of the industrial revolution people asked the question 'What makes us human?' Is it a feeling, a behavior, a body?

Philosophers ask this question, as do many writers. Early cinema was immediately interested in how a new technology could tell stories about how humans have externalized consciousness in various forms– as machines, as work, as love, as monsters.
