Wall-e Title Sequence Project BEGINS!

This semester we're working in teams of 3 to make an opening title sequence to a variety of films. We chose to create one for the Pixar film Wall-e. I took on the task of gathering materials to experiment with. We are going to try and recreate some of the narrative from before the film began. Like showing Wall-e's work-a-day life before he found the plant or met Eve.
We're going to give it a homemade/ puppet style. This will be achieved by utilizing found objects like wood/ polystyrene/ metal/ plastic/ cardboard to create the backdrop and props. The characters and all moving objects will be simple stylistic versions of the well detailed originals and will be moved around the scene via sticks.
Here's a few pictures of the buildings I've made so far. These show the progression of how I created a cityscape from Coke cans, polystyrene and boxes and then went on to spray paint them black and ruin them a little. After all it is an apocalyptic future, they have to look a little shit.

The polystyrene buildings are my favouite so far. They easily allowed me to create a nice silhouette of a large, high city. And then when I needed to wreck them it came away in nice large chunks that seemed to form naturally as the knife went through it.
