Coffins

An idea which occurred to us quite late in the process was that when the shutters went up, the ambulance should house two or more Dr. Easys. We liked the idea that the robot was a tool and to suggest it was expendable.

We designed these upright 'coffins' for the robots to sit in, lined with the foam that you might find in a photographer's kit case, to protect the robot in transit.

The robots themselves were carefully designed to fold up neatly into a compact unit. We even calculated how high up this coffin should be so that when a robot unfolded it could gracefully plant its feet on the floor. It's very important to make a ladylike entrance.

Anal? Well not as anal as this tiny sticker we printed to go alongside the robots, which can't even be seen in the finished film.
