Being a big fan of gynoids (it's what my shorts and current feature I'm writing are completely based on) I was very interested to see this.
Imagine my surprise when I saw a bunch of very similar elements and shots to my "Birth" short from 2006 in film school!
Here's the vimeo link to my little effort (shot on the JVC HD-GY101E for a little over AUD$1,000 of which half went to renting the camera from Panavision and the other half went into building the set and feeding the crew pizza!):

I wonder if Greg somehow saw "Birth" and used that as inspiration (it would be cool if he did!). After all, I'm similarly inspired by other efforts in the genre
Of course Greg's much more professional effort ends up going in a different direction (and is focused on sexy vs mine being focused on emotion) more along the lines of "The Fifth Element" Leeloo escape scene.
Anyway, I thought it was an interesting juxtaposition between watching "Bionic" and "Birth"! Hope you enjoy it too.
Cheers from Tokyo,
Paul
