I'm ready for a Blinky feature.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Do you like your meatballs?


...Blinky just did what he was told, good robot.

 

[Tom Lowe]

For some reason, I know I would be rooting for Blinky to make mincemeat out of as many humans as possible in a feature film.

It was done at Chapman university. Vicon system. I played the robot in mocap, and did the voice.

Nice work.

What did you use for rendering. Your credits list speedshape. Is that a vfx house? Did you use vray?

Congrats on the film.

Yeah it was Vray. They kindly let me use their render farm.

Loved it! Love the design and Blinky seems like perfect use of motion capture actually. (This is coming from an animator who has good reason to not like motion capture).

It looks like you were the one mainly responsible for the vfx? Hats off, looks fantastic. Blinky out in the rain really looked great.

Everything is so well balanced, and the music really drives it home. I am still waiting for the feature film version of The Second Renaissance (of Animatrix fame), and I expect you to be involved sir.

Fun! "Do you like your meatballs" is definitely quotable. And "I recycled him" deserves to find its ways into the annals of trash talk.

Great work all around.

Yeah I did most of the vfx. It was painful. Hopefully worth the grief.
