scifi films list

when designing i have researched different parts of 1950s scifi making sure to cover most of the decades development.

sci-fi became very popular during 1950s and 40s with new technology developing quicker than ever many finitized about leaving earth or having robot assistants around the house.

robots from 1950s media

apearance

the robots from these popular movies all share some similarity's with a lot of robots at the time. a lot of robots have a large humanoid shape with a chrome chassis, there heads are often larger than average with clear glass/plastic showing more internal parts. one of a few exceptions to this is Gort with more human proportions whist still having a silver body. a lot of them use lights and dials containing many analog elements.

house hold objects from the 1950s

attempt 1

after gray boxing the design, i decided that the design was more reminiscent of the 70s and decided to stop working on this design trying out some more sketchets although i think i may later continue this design into a 70s style robot almost like a starwars droid

attempt 2

for this design i focused on mainly building out of objects from around the house during that time. i also looked more into the designs of 1950s appliances and general design at that time. many had curved finishes and very organic shapes with many having chrome appear in the design

adding the tape to the disign was a good idea as i think it helped the robot fit the brefis requirement better of a more home made design
