Like A Robot

I wans't sure what was going to come up when I typed "robot music" into youtube but here are a few video clips. This one caught my eye first. I'm not a big fan of hip hop, and it's not about the song but the simple visuals they use for the video. If I'm being blunt, it's a bit of a miss mash of "robotics" but there are some effective things like the loading visuals.
(embedding fixed...well...if you view on a screen as big as your tv)

Fosters Intro

Ok, we all know I'm a big kid when it comes to cartoons. This is one of my favourite ones, and it's intro really reminded me of what I want to achieve in my after effects. The way the building draws it's self in the beginning. I know the cartoon was done entirely in flash, not after effect but it's the effect I'm after.



Too bad it got cancelled/I don't have cartoon network any more.

Thankyou Skottie, my eyeballs just melted.

It takes a little guy called Bernard from outer space to nail it on the head about how eyeball meltingly bad this whole fad is.
SkottieYoung.com because I don't talk enough about how great this guy already is.

Robot Comics

I know I'm supposed to be doing Robot films but this is one of the 'nicest' (ugly word) piece of comic cover art I have seen in a while:

There's just something about it that makes the Graphic Designer in me very happy. The simple use of colours as well as the old feeling of penguin books. (At least I think it's supposed to be penguin? Not to sure on that one.)

Edit: This one Came out today:

I think perhaps the whole series is like this but I'm not to certain when it comes to Iron Man. (That's the boyfriends domain, not mine)

And here's the first one, I sort of figured they'd all be running on the same theme:

I know that currently Stark is one of Marvels "most wanted" in terms of story. “Stark Disassembled,” shows who Tony Stark is when you remove all of his carefully crafted artifices. Fugitive Tony Stark is hiding from Norman Osborn a database containing the identities of every superhuman on the planet. Because the information is contained in Tony’s brain, he's been using powerful technology to wipe it from his mind. The unfortunate side effect of this process is that other things are being erased as well, like memories and skills.

Do The Robot

A nice little animation from the Vancouver Film School. The design of the background in the tittle sequences as well as the robot concept art is something I want to look into for my Idents.



The Iron Man Intro titles:

I LOVE the retro feel of this tittle sequence. It might be a little too advanced for what I want to do but it's in the right area. One of Iron Mans suits, I guess, can be considered robotic as it gains sentient life. But, that obviosuly hasn't come up in the films yet. Other robots would be his little helper bot who is a bit too helpful.
