Robot Movie Update #1: The Hero…

Behold — the hero of my new robot movie:

Gorgeous, ain’t he? Actually, this is a prototype - the real McCoy has more work left to do (redo his claws & eyes, change his colors, round off some of those sharp edges, among other things). Still, it’s pretty darn close. Very similar in appearance to our hero from Break Time. Although you won’t be able to see the finished model until the movie is released*, I figured I’d give you patient people a glimpse at where the design is going.

Some background: this film is the first in a series of robot movies I’ve been toying with in my noodle since early 2002. In fact, Break Time was initially created as a test movie to try out some of the various large-scale filmmaking techniques I would need to produce these other robot movies. Right now, there are plans for four films — there may be others…
