How Tall Would Your Robot Be?


To pose the question “How tall would your robot be?” Andrew’s Mr. Smiley makes another appearance, this time in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Director of Photography Wayne Sells shot the buildings at sunset in HD. The animated robot, his reflection in the facing windows, and a small dust cloud were composited into the shot paying close attention to the long, cool shadows and warm sunlight. Sound designer Mike Beaumont brought the scene to life with the mechanical stomping, creaking, and big city traffic sounds. Check out the Quicktime here, or view a Windows Media Video here.
