Cinematic Spaces: Project 2 inspiration maps, research, thoughts.. The Saharan Inventor

The Saharan Inventor.

I was exactied until I went to research the Saharan desert. I then begun to smash my head against the desk as I kept coming to a stop, as I just found the Saharan intself so boring. It's the hottest and largest desert in the world. I kind of trapped my self in the mind set that it had to be in the middle of the desert, only when I began to think about areas surrounding the desert, and oases in the desert I began to construct ideas in my head.

Here is my very basic research so far:

Saharan and Inventors Research
I then had a lot of fun getting people tp help me think of weorkshops of inventors in film and game. Although these aren't exactly the sort of enviroment I want, I just want to collect all I can on the sort of places inventors could live.
Here are my influence maps:

I have a huge problem when to arranging images in posts! It never co-operates with me! I think I need to change my template

So, I got excited when thinking about having an Ancient Egyptian inventor, who perhaps used a strange sort of spiritual magic infused with his mechanics to  create robots, with the intent to replace slaves with robots. I would very much like to create an exciting magical themed set, which is why a lot of my influence maps are kids movies. I still am pretty stuck when it comes to ideas, though!
