The treatment
and Story:
Do
Androids dream of electric sheep and seek to escape
redundancy?
We live in a society which seeks to make redundant
and exclude. We make redundant on the basis of
age, skills, economics, etc. As if people are
slot occupiers and not organic being...capable
of change and adaptation. Thus of being creatively
productive in one way or another.
To create something for the competition I could
take up two routes. One, depicting a real junkyard
and concentrating on the realism. But as I always
prefer an image with a narrative, I decided to
use the scope the theme offered to inspect the
propensity ours to declare things redundant and
throw them away. Be it old age homes or junkyards.
Don't we all take on the fear of becoming redundant,
instead of seeing a path of evolution.
So what was to happen if a group of very colourful
droids were to be relegated to the junkyards?
A story was stirring in my mind, and the image
above formed in my mind as a beginning of the
tale.
However, due to work pressure I couldn't complete
the image in time for the competition. However
New Beginning
did evolve from it and went on to win a few prizes. |

The
Execution:
The image was modelled and rendered completely
in Bryce. I used primitives and boolean operations
to create the models. Tried to give a separate
function and personality to each of the droid.
There's the cleaner droid (with a vacuum pump),
Pet droid, gardener droid and a few others. |
