Talking Dog






“Just because your a robot” Ok, clumsy title but as soon as I read it, I knew I could have some fun and do something different! The scriptwriter was hinting at a look towards something that has been done before, so it was up to us to show how art direction could be original, deviating slightly from the scripts intensions yet it still remains a parody of 70s cop shows and hopefully will add some humour to the concept. “They should all be robots” was my first thought, Robots convinced that they are human and accusing the others of being “the robot,” that in essence is the opposite of “Blade runner” – Robots that look like humans, Jim and Karl are very human in speech and movement They have emotions and feelings too ya know, they just look like huge mechanical death machines! All good Sci-fi asks questions about who we are and what we are doing and these questions came up several times throughout the project!

 

Aliens and the living dead roam the streets of LA looking for victims to feed upon. Not much different from today then really, The La of the future is a ruined husk of its former glamour. Having been ravaged by nuclear war that has wiped out human kind, Jim and Karl are the long arm of the law hunting down these Aliens and Zombie flesh eaters and booking them for Jay walking, sometimes they get to blow there heads off.
