CGI Animated Short Film "AALY" by Abdelrahman M. Daoud

Sep 4, 2020

"Aaly" tells the story of a mysterious robot doing what he loves best. Out of the vast, barren expanse of the desert, he finds something special—a sole plant, jutting out of the Earth. But what Aaly does with that plant creates even more questions for the viewer. A morality tale about what humans do with life and nature, Aaly encourages the audience to ponder what it means to live today: What is the impact of the machines we build? What do we treasure, and what do we destroy?

I wanted to create a story that was instantly recognizable but totally surprising. Seeking to present a world similar to my home in Sudan, but more extreme.

A Robot is a Robot
January 14, 2019

Following the tragic end of its military career, a disabled robot war-veteran finds its home among humans in the tender care of an old lady, and hire in her hair salon for cats. But can this ruthless killer leave its destructive past behind, once faced with the cat-based challenges that life throws at it?

A Robot is a Robot is a sombre and quietly comedic short movie, that will make inordinate amounts of air shoot from your nose, while making you ask questions like “is genuine change possible?” and “how much hair simulation is too much?”

A Robot is a Robot is directed by Emil Friis Ernst and Nilas Røpke Driessen and was produced with the support of the Open Workshop.

Animation: Maria Sandvig, Kristina Sletting, Nilas Røpke Driessen

Modelling/rigging: Marcus Richter, Nilas Røpke Driessen

Sound design and soundtrack: Markus Villekjær Lassen

Dave is the last human employee at "UGAGO" - a hip, modern stock footage-company. Dave hates his job, the group activities, and the annoyingly exuberant team spirit of his robot colleagues. He does his very best to seclude himself from everyone at his office, as he is convinced about his otherness and superiority to his robot coworkers.
