  I saw the 'Neo' robot commercial, and am I the only one who immediately thought of 'Blinky'? https://vimeo.com/21216091

  1. Blinky™
    
    from Ruairi Robinson
    
    Soon every home will have a robot helper. Don't worry. It's perfectly safe. Written, Directed & Edited by Ruairi Robinson Starring Max Records from "Where The Wild Things Are". Cinematography by Macgregor Music by Olafur Arnalds courtesy of Erased Tapes Funded by Bord Scannan na hEireann / Irish film Board Budget was 45k euro - for the shoot. Visual effects budget was a grand total of zeeero. I designed Blinky, modeled him in 3D and played both the his voice and the body mocap performance. And did most of the VFX. Thankfully all footage of me in the skintight mocap suit has been permanently destroyed. Visual effects were completed over a period of 9 months, of hell. There's a reason why you don't see too many wet CG characters in movies even with 100 million dollar budgets. It's really, really hard.
