synopsis
A box-headed robot stands atop a towering bridge over a smog-filled cityscape. It looks like this is the end for our hero...
short fact
This was my first film in 3D, made for MTV Load. I wanted to try to make a sensitive and humorous film that also looks nice. Music is by Julian Wilson from Grand Drive.

    Bundgy jumping at night/??/I caught the eyes on the way down..I thought the eyes revealed some "life"..but then ITS head fell off..maybe Robots don't need a head to jump from high places..but they were placing these "back-on" for the second attempt.a sequel might add some "chiropractic" function to the story--like the needed energy of a "tool"..on the spine--the second attempt may lead to a real point about "jumping".

    a fun minute micro.

    When his **** popped off I'll gasped. O dear. I thought he was out of commission. No more Orange mobile phone ad's for him then.

    Every animator should make at least one robo movie just like throwing your trainers on to a cable or tree or jumping off a cliff into the sea at the end of their studies.
