The story of Robbie follows the touching recollection of an artificially intelligent robot's time on Earth, until that time comes to an inevitable end.
Robbie is a tender science fiction film that revels in the joy and sympathizes with the sadness of Robbie's 'life' and explores the concept of accepting life must someday end.
"I liked the idea of transposing that sentiment through a being with artificial intelligence, as it makes it a little less confronting for the audience."
It is a credit to Harvey's editing skills that none of the footage in Robbie is his own; instead, Harvey chose to create a film using only footage taken from the NASA archives, piecing material together to form his narrative.
Brought to life through footage of NASA's Robonaut, the character of Robbie is both captivating and touching.
The voiceover narrative -- told from Robbie's point of view -- is somehow simultaneously robotic and human, and by the film's end successfully creates an emotional bond between robot and audience.
When asked about how he develops his narratives, Harvey tells of thoroughly researching concepts over time to allow his ideas to flourish.
