Another chapter in the disastrous life of the computerised
canine takes place in the park. It seems even in a kid-proof
environment, Dogbot can still find a way to screw things up
for himself...
Revived after his close shave in the car park, Dogbot is
happily trotting along a footpath, having a good old sniff
around. Typically this tranquillity is short lived, as he
finds himself confronted by some railings preventing him from
continuing on his chosen course. Instead of changing direction
he squishes his head through the bars and, unsurprisingly,
finds himself stuck. A battle ensues with his inanimate jailer.
He manages to tug the railing away and drags it down the path,
collecting other objects in his wake. Stupid Dogbot.
Clever Fiesta doesn't have any of these problems with
its specially powered wing mirrors, and would never have got
into such a pickle.
Once again, a fully CG Dogbot was built, followed by an uber-speedy
3 weeks animation and rendering. Ian and Stuart performed
some challenging compositing in Flame. |
