Robot Breakfast needed an opening for its show. It had to set the tone in under 20 seconds, with no narration, and end on the show’s logo.
02
We told a tiny story with one character. A tired office worker grows four robot arms, and his shirt and tie turn casual. The arms type, game, lift weights and comb his hair. One pours coffee, he takes a sip, and the camera dives into the mug to reveal the logo. Bold yellows and quick cuts keep the energy high.
the opening in eight beats
The whole opening runs 19 seconds. Here is how it plays out, frame by frame.

Four arms burst out to help.
Work gets done on its own.
A little play on the side.
A quick workout too.
Even his hair gets combed.
One arm pours a fresh cup.
The show logo lands.
sketch first, then animate
We storyboarded the opening panel by panel before animation began. Each panel set up one action. Pick a panel to see the sketch, the final frame and the notes behind it.
"No dialogue in this scene."
One lifts weights.
the final artwork
Bright yellows, playful robot arms and a cartoon lead. We designed the character first, then a style frame that set the look for every shot.
