Chris,<br>
<br>
Have you guys moved forward on creating a robot for "<i>Yellow
Springs"?</i><br>
Someone brought it up at our general membership meeting last
night.<br>
So, we're at least interested in hearing about your
progress.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I saw you needed a robot built. I built a pretty cool
8 foot tall metal robot puppet for a short film I
directed last year and have been working on similar
style props for another short.<br>
<br>
You can check out the one I built at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://1972movie.com"
target="_blank">http://1972movie.com</a> and in
action a little bit in the trailer. The full short
isn't online yet as we're still doing a few
festivals. More robot shots are in my friend's VFX
reel - he helped out a bit with some compositing <a

<br>
I am in Champaign but my wife and I are about to move
into a new house so my schedule will be touch and go
for the next month. What is your timeframe for the
project, and what is your (super rough) robot budget?
Also, how large a robot are you looking for? Roughly
human sized? I also built this robot for a short: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtgYVuQocm8"
target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtgYVuQocm8</a>
but I don't have him in town and he is more of a joke
stylistically and pretty hard to move.<br>
<br>
I'm really interested in helping out with this because
our visual styles (for cool robots) seem to be fairly
compatible and I'm working on a sequel and could
definitely benefit from more robots if you wouldn't
mind sharing. I could also possibly build another
head for my existing 1972 robot and rent him to you,
but he is pretty beat up, both intentionally (fake
rust) and from the stress of filming - I don't know if
that would fit your story. I would also be happy to
rent you the older robot too or instead, but I'd want
to talk to you on the phone and explain all of his
nuances ahead of time.<br>
<br>
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions, thanks,
and good luck with prepro.<br>

<p> Hi,<br>
<br>
There has been no interest expressed
from the MakerSpace in doing this, yet.<br>
Might this be an opportunity for
MakerSpace-CMM collaboration?<br>
We can provide space and tools in
exchange for ideas and motivation to
make.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

</div>
<div>My name is Andrew Quinn. I am the
Production Designer for <i>Yellow
Springs</i> a Sci-Fi short film
set in a future where people have
become addicted to living out
another live by way of a virtual
reality. The film centers around
"Number 11" a young girl who awakes
from living out an 80 year old man's
life. Upon returning to the "real
world" she is greeted by Smokey, a
robot who tends to the people
plugged into
the virtual world. This film will
be made in the style of a drug film
like Transpotting or Requiem for a
Dream. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are in need of a somewhat
functional robot to play the part of
Smokey. The robot is still in the
development stage but we have a few
idea of what he should look like.
Think of 50's tin toy robots; very
boxy, crude, metal, dirty, lots of
knobs and blinking lights. Attached
is a good reference photo. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The robot needs to be able to
move its arms up and down and put a
cigarette to its mouth. We were
thinking it could roll around VIA a
remote controlled car. He should
also be able to turn his head like a
human. One idea we liked, was using
a oscilloscope as his mouth. Again,
the robot is in a film so it doesn't
have to function mechanically, it
could be operated like a puppet or
by a man inside, if this keeps the
cost low. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this something your
hackerspace would be interested in
creating. If so, how much do you
think it would cost? I would like to
work closely with you on the look of
the robot, but the functionality is
what I really need help with. I am
located in Muncie, Indiana so I
might not be able to work with
you in person, but would be
very available via phone call or
Skype. Once the robot is completed I
would drive to pick the robot up. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any help you can
provide, I look forward to hearing
from you soon.</div>
