"Roam"
April 24, 2013

This is a short visual effects film my friend and I did. Only two people did the post production and editing for this short. We have a total of 28 visual effects shots. I did modeled, textured and rigged the robot head. Kyle and I split the tracking, I did the majority of the tracking, reason being he is the composting artist, which isn't my strong suit. So enjoy!

"Quarantine"
from Vera Bennett
April 22, 2013

My film is about robots, and humans, but mostly robots.

I love to explore the relationship between humans and robots. It is a subject that really interests me, and I try to approach it from different angles. I started wondering what it would be like for a human, a generally emotional being, to be raised by a robot, a being based in logic. I also wondered, if given the proper level of artificial intelligence, how emotional could a rational being like a robot become. Could this protagonist grow to care for the human he has raised, or will he just see the human as a means to an end?

Animation has been my passion and shaped much of my personal character. Writing and story design for animated features and television shows is how I want to spend the rest of my life. I love crafting new worlds and new characters to fill those worlds; I guess you could say storytelling is my passion, and animation is the medium in which I prefer to tell my stories.

Quarantine, like most of my films, started out as vague character designs and a vague concept of the world they lived in. Only over the course of designing and building the characters and sets, did the story begin to take shape. I took some risks and started without a script, only an idea of what I wanted floating around in my mind.

Quarantine was shot in puppet stop motion style, with all sets and characters hand made by myself. I wanted a more ‘choppy’ feel to the animation style that would add to the film’s ‘grungy’, post-apocalyptic world.

"Epimetheus"
mungkey, Bneid Al Gar, Kuwait
February 17, 2012

Synopsis:
After throwing a question about the end of everything .... the last computer on earth is tasked by an unknown entity to 'think' and 'review' about what has happened to the world ...
Description:
I was clearing-up the drives of unused files (for deletion)
and saw some old shots I did with erwin a long time ago just lying around and eating some disk space, and I thought why not try to load 'em up in after effects and see what I can come up with. This is the result. I really didn't think about it that much just a surge of randomicity.
Credits:(Also at the end of the video)
Video Footage shot by the amazing Erwin Magbanua with Canon EOS 7D HDSLR, all of the clips shot in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

"SoulBot"
from Andreas Wannerstedt
June 21, 2011

Track "Inquisition part III" by Matta, taken from the "The Lost" record released by Ad Noiseam (adn126)
adnoiseam.net/adn126
They say that we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of death. They say that it's the weight of the human soul.
Well, it was Dr. Duncan MacDougall of Haverhill, Massachusetts who first attempted to weigh the human soul. In 1907, he placed 6 dying patients on a homemade scale, which also acted as a bed for the patients. More recently in Dan Brown's novel, "the Lost Symbol", there is a segment that explains how "The Institute of Noetic Science" uses noetics to weigh the human soul. After tests on terminally ill patients, it came across that immediately after death, a person's weight dropped.
So, what would happen if they found a way to contain this invincible mass.. this soul.. Obviously the only reason to do this would be to put it in some kind of awesome robot.. yeah!
