Like the stories of most movies and shows the Dronecrusher story deals with “good guys” and “bad guys” but it also emphasizes the other kind of characters that I like to call “Drones”.
In real life that’s my least favorite kind. I’ll give you an example what I consider to be a “drone” in my experience.
You know a situation when you show up Monday morning at work and someone at the water tank or coffee station asks you: “How was your weekend?”, not really caring for an answer. If you take that question seriously and give them few more details than the usual: “Great!”, …… they’ll almost 100% give you back the good old: “Good for you” phrase, again not really meaning anything with this. They actually don’t give a shit about you.
So, ………. you see for me that is a good example of a “Drone” (you’ll see more about this in a show later on).
Besides “Drones” this show will define “Freelys” as one side of the coin and “Rulebys” as the other side. You can think about them as “good” and “bad”. Now, ……… what is good and what’s bad?
You must have seen the “Roadrunner” cartoon a bunch of times, so ….. who is a good and who is a bad guy there? Is a coyote a bad guy trying to get a roadrunner all the time or is the Roadrunner a bad guy since he always gets coyote hurt?
I guess this whole thing depends on perception and the side you are standing on.
One thing is sure it is always that one side views the other as wrong.
Drones, however don’t suffer this dilemma since they are not driven by passion like other two types of characters in Dronecrusher show.
So why is the show called “Dronecrusher”?
Using simple comic life situations this show will engage viewer to take sides as more and more “Drone” characters will turn to be either “Freelys” or “Rulebys”. The show is about waking up to essence of one’s self when making decisions is a natural call that determines us as characters of one or the other side.

The emphasis is going to be on burlesque scenes and situation like in Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton movies where almost no speech is needed. Everything in Dronecrusher will be explained by characters simply acting the scenes out speaking very little or none. There will be animation almost resembling pantomime where body language is very important.

Look at the embedded video from YouTube. This is Italian cartoon "La Linea" that I watched as a teenage kid like crazy. Listen to Linea’s voice. It is a made up language loosely based on Italian language. Just the sounds and very simple animation does the trick. Line grabs you by the neck and gets you into its world. Same as Chaplin and Keaton. That is what I want to do with Dronecrusher
