Week 5


Presentation! 

The greatest one star restaurant in the quadrant

our story revolves around a bunch of runaway cyborgs who steal a restaurant ship to escape human rule. 
However, they forget to turn off the beacon and end up getting customers. 
To avoid detection, they use their own meat to create meals to keep the customers happy. 
Engineer becomes consumed with the idea of pleasing these customers, and the story
quickly turns bloody as she ransacks the other cyborgs for more meat for these meals, eager for human approval.

We looked at three different aesthetic design concepts.







Really useful feedback:

Told to look at dark humor type movies

  • Stepford Wives
  • Shawn of the dead
  • Zombieland
  • Ex Machina

Look at other retro aesthetic for the retro theme like a Kiwiana twist (Milkbars)

However, they are hailed by a ship and quickly realise that the spacecraft they hijacked was a space restaurant, and the beacon advertising it is still broadcasting. Deciding to fulfil the order to avoid suspicion, the clueless cyborgs scramble to find something humans might like to eat. However, the only thing left on the ship is their own meat... Episode 2: Engineer is troubled with the meager 1-star review their meal garnered, despite the other cyborgs lack of concern. They only want to shut down the beacon.We see flashbacks to her time working for the humans at the same resort as Jukebox, never receiving any praise. While she pities ...

Week 7

Today we met up in class and showed each other the work we did over the week, to give critique and feedback and working out what we will have done over the break: Kasina worked on the inside aesthetic of  the kitchen and diner area: She played with 2 different aesthetics - We all agreed we liked the first style the most so will continue in that direction. It has a more grungy rundown vibe to it which is what we were going for. Grace continued developing the characters, this week she worked on Captain & Friendly: Different outfits and styles fitting our 1960's vibe and colour palette -  We really liked the design and style of 9 & 10 for Friendly and 6 & 11 for Captain.
