Description

I figured that at least for the time being, i would upload my MFA Thesis film for you folks. I was looking into film festivals and such (and still am), and found them to be to expensive and time consuming at the moment.

But i want people to see the film, so here you go.

This is the result of 3 years of tedious work and generous help. Hope you enjoy it.

Feel free to link to it and share it, but PLEASE do not sell it. Its mine, and only I do the selling around here. ;)

I'm an animation student myself, and am aware of the excruciating pain of giving birth to a short film like this.
Yet, I feel some sincere input could be given, I hope you can take it as reflexive, not pejorative.
I don't get the storyline. Until the verbal explanation by the hologram about the imminent collision, I had no clue of what was going on, apart from "this is a robot world".
The characters then proceed to the solution with no conflicts, obstacles, motivation nor tension. I'm not into cliché and won't ask for a super villain, a helpless maiden, etc., but the concepts mentioned in the previous phrase are fundamental elements for a narrative to become intelligible. I can also mention some takes which add no meaning to the overall plot, and lack of takes that do it, be it by conventions or other semantic structures.
Could you tell more about the creative process used to produce this? Was the plot actually important, or the short has a more technical experimentation nature?

Nevertheless, the animation has a nice looking and the characters, though simple, are able to get the public sympathy, just needing a little more help from the story events to do it.
