Dude with a Problem
Setup
In a factory, a lines of robots are going past suspended on a high up treadmill.
Catalyst
There is a sudden jolt in the factory line, then the protagonist, Robot No. 7, falls off the factory line, bounces off a few obstacles, and hits the floor.
Debate
After stirring and regaining its balance, the robot looks up at the treadmill, and tries climbing some boxes to get back on the factory line, but just as he gets to the top and reaches for the clamp, there is another sudden jolt, the factory line resumes its movement, and he is knocked back onto the floor, scattering the boxes.
Break into act 2 – Something has to happen
The robot wanders into a door previously covered by the now scattered boxes, and finds a variety of broken and damaged machine parts, then at the end of the room, he sees a pipe-like tunnel, which after climbing into, he realises it is steeper than first thought, and he tumbles down it, hitting the bottom with a huge crash.
B story
In the next room, the crash caused by Robot No. 7, causes another robot, No. 14, to fall of his factory line, stir, and wander into the room with No. 7 in.
Fun & games
Robot No. 7 and No. 14 play with a destroyed bit of cardboard box and kick it between each other.
All is lost
The second Robot, No.14, tries to jump over a refuse pit and jumps too short, resulting in him falling down the pit and out of sight.
Dark night of the soul – death
No.7 runs around frantically kicking boxes out of frustration and eventually just sits down by the pit and sulks for a moment, with the light in his head going dark blue.
Break into act three
No.7 wanders into the next room of the factory solemnly, and finds a huge room full of construction lines and machines that are all, mysteriously, on and working.
Finale – Partners who went separate ways reconcile
No.7 walks down a set of stairs and finds, to his surprise, a refuse skip, in which is No.14, who is slightly battered but still very much alive. The two greet each other and bound happily around towards the exit.
Final image (Sketch)
The two take a look outside the exit, then turn around and walk back into the factory.
