These two flying robots are very handy when you want to hang something up high or put an object on the top shelf. They are programmed to help and are eager to please.
It’s robot week on my blog!! Here is the first robot:
This robot is full of ideas that light up his bulbs. Unfortunately these ideas usually involve putting objects in his microwave chest and making them melt. This can become annoying when you invite him over to your house for a party.
I just recently finished directing this animation for HP and MTV through Strange Beast. For the illustrations I took influence from Heath Robinson’s brilliant book Contraptions but I wanted to create larger, more industrial machines that help the environment rather than hinder it. I then animated in After Effects with additional help from Ryan Brotherston who I’ve worked with previously on idents for E4 Music and Kerrang! TV.
This was another project were I had the opportunity to create the music and sound design. I always enjoy doing this and it helps me give the piece the exact tone that I’m looking for.
As well as on Vimeo you can also see this spot on YouTube.

Here are a couple of characters I recently designed. They are far too cool for school and look down on anybody who manages to catch their eye. They’ll be working a dead end job in a couple of years.
