Layers Upon Layers
Andrew's idea of having a "famous robot that appears in movies" is brought to life with compositing. Inspired by the classic James Bond titles, we had Andrew walk out and aim his remote control - striking the 007 pose. Then the 3d incarnation of his robot was animated, following his lead, and delivers a blast from his sidearm.
To help make these two look as if they're walking together, similar shadows and the same background were added. Next, the iris was modeled in 3d and animated to follow their movements. After the shot, it recoils and blood oozes down the screen. To get the right kind of dripping, we squirted paint over a greenscreen (making it easy to remove the green).Put all the layers together and what've you got? The final composite [above].
