This is me building on the initial ideas, i never really liked the fact the foundations of the story were very shaky, like the emotive design of the whole thing.
why did the master leave?
why was he building him?
whats their touching connection?
So to sum it all up in an elevator pitch (imagine being in an elevator with some hotshot director/producer that yu want to make your idea a reality... youve approx five lines, one breath to throw it all out there, from start to finish and make it interesting, make it impossible for them to resist)
Its based in a steampunk world, a little lolita girl is playing with her robot (their version of a barbie/ragdoll) it breaks, she cries, take sit to her dad, the factory chief/master, hes fixing it at the tool bench. sirens go off.
everyone evacuates, child is taken away and the toy abandoned.
the toy now misses its beloved child and will do anything to be reunited, even fix itself and break out into the big bad world, where of course there are very real dangers, like the breathers, the natzi like bad guys it suits, they make heavy breathing noises.
The masters cat is also abandoned, and although they dont get along, the cat and robot (trix and cogs) team up to be reunited with their family.
ok so thats the basics.... and a bit longer than an actual elevator pitch. as i get further into the story, and where and what theyd encounter problems/help, i notice its similar to many famous movies, to name a few children ones, toys story and the brave little toaster.
Although i know how my story starts and ends, the in between and climax is difficult to come up with at this point.
