Time Machine

I started making the time machine for the film, by painting up an old water pistol. I gave it a layer of white first to help the silver paint show up -


And then added several layers of silver paint -

This should be dry by now, so I can add more details in pen, and I'm thinking if I can find a clock face to fit in the back of it this would look pretty cool. It'd also mean as Dr. Tipler uses it on Roger, he could dial in the time by moving the clock's hands around, which would be cool!
I started painting a mask for the robot too, I was thinking if I get like a cheap bike helmet from somewhere, I can paint that silver too and it'll start too look more robotic. This mask still has a way to go however, it needs all kinds of wires and maybe some LEDs slapped all over it -

And here are some more robot designs -




And here are some designs for the time machine itself -

Dr. Tipler, I Presume?

Here's another storyboard, this time for Dr. Tipler's laboratory. Once again, I've provided Frameforge and hand drawn storyboards, but unfortunately in all the Frameforge ones the time machine does just look like a gun...! It will look different in the actual film, there'll be some time machine designs posted up here soon. Here are the storyboards -





Here's a sketch of what Dr. Tipler could look like -

Storyboard For First Two Scenes

Here's the first two scenes (Roger on set, and then Roger and Laura having a break by the set) drawn out with Frameforge -


I'm finding Frameforge quite limiting at the moment, and definitely prefer drawing out the storyboard by hand, so I think I'll do both for each scene. Here are the first two, the rest will come later on -

Forging Frames!

Here's another storyboard for the first scene, using Frameforge. I've drawn out a storyboard for the second scene and third scenes, with Roger and Laura on their coffee break and Roger meeting the scientist, respectively, and I'll post them up on here as soon as their Frameforge counterparts are complete.

Storyboards

I've started drawing a storyboard for the film, and attempted to make one on Frameforge too. However, as I don't yet have the full version, just a demo, it's very limited as to what I can do with it... Hopefully I'll be able to make a more accurate representation soon.
