This was one of the final storyboard sequences created for the UVU film ChessMate. This version of the film features the main character Chet, a lonely robot on an abandoned spacecraft, and his best friend Francois, a digital chessboard with a personality of it's own. (Francois is sort of like UVU's version of Luxo Jr.)
A work-in-progress version of ChessMate is available here:
