Synopsis:

“Universe, the last frontier. Conquest, the only reason to function. Earth, the next target. However, sometimes size matters, especially if you’re an alien invader robot”.

Personal Comments:

After finishing “Qua”, I wanted to take some time to improve and learn. I spent a few months to understand how the 3D stereoscopic systems work. As a free time project, I started a stereoscopic animation parody of “Transformers” saga. I wanted to work on something quite different, funny, light and absurd, little by little, without a clear deadline.

The executed stereoscopic work serves as an artistic searching of all the stereoscopic possibilities in the world of 3D animation.

Always improving. The best and the worst:

  • The best: at last, a comedy short film and I could play with a transformable transformer!! ^,^ .
  • The worst: a rigging expert would have been needed in order to improve the robot animation.
