#bjd robot

For my film class, we could do yet another research paper or something more creative. Me being me, I opted to do an illustrated short story. Using my dolls.

Cue four days of writing, costume making (with a mom sewing helper recruit) and set making. And a wild last minute photo shoot.

The story is a slightly sci-fi/dystopic environment that takes place in the bowels of The City ... a paradise sold in false advertising.

There is no need for self in The City. All is provided within.

Tubby2 is here! Also brought new (while keeping some old) issues wih him for good measure. Some seem stupid to not have thought of earlier... but didn’t show up till the elastic got involved.

Humans consume these things? What are they?

Yes Tubby, sometimes we do.

It’s late and I needs to be sleeping, but lookit who finished printing!

SavageBot MK 001 - aka “Tubby Bot”

Hopefully I’ll get a video shot tomorrow showing his movements. Not perfect in any way (I got some fixin and redoin on some parts) but I didn’t think I’d get this far this soon.

*happy tears*

Mah baby robot is coming together! I seriously teared up a bit this morning after his hand finished printing and I got the arm strung to see how it did.

Printing a foot right now, then a leg. I have to rework the “butt” on the body so I don’t have to spend a week excavating away the supports...

Tubby1: Human! What is this?

Tubby2: Scans indicate item is harmless.

Me: *opens little box*

Tubby1: It has its own little world inside!

Tubby2: How did you make the little human so small?

Me: I didn’t make this one.

Tubby1: Why are little plastic humans cuter than regular ones?

Tubby2: What do you mean you didn’t make *this* one?
