This is my second attempt with Maya, this movie took me 3 months to finished. No doubt this is my most time consuming project ever. The concept is very simple, I wanted to make some robots at an assembly line that were moving according to the music.
But I totally over killed it by modeling to much details. But I learned so much by doing this project, so thats awesome.
The song is The Girl And The Robot by Royksopp

We had a motion week at Hyper Island and one of our assignments was to make a 15 second movie in After Effects. I was a bit when I started to make this move, so had 24 hours to make a cool movie.
So after 3 cans of Jolt cola, some vitamine C, a lot of pushups and a sleepless night, I had my 15 seconds movie.

One of my first motion graphic videos, the scene is actually a wallpaper made by little-gamers.com. So I depict the wallpaper in Illustrator and imported the illustration to After Effects and had some fun with the character.
