jetpack_monkey: (Tom Servo Lives!)
[personal profile] jetpack_monkey
I'm making super-multisource vid about robots that will show at Vividcon this year in the Artificial Life vidshow. I've gathered... quite the collection of sources, but I know there are some areas where I'm not particularly savvy -- like a lot of television, anime, and videogames.

Additionally, not all of the robots that I have source for will make the final vid, so I'm trying to prioritize as best I can.

Are there any robots that would give you great joy to see in such a vid? Leave me a comment!

To get even more specific, here are some areas where I need help:

  • Robots being constructed
  • Dancing/celebrating robots
  • Robots forming bonds with humans
  • Robots forming bonds with robots
  • Humans being mean to robots
  • Human-on-robot violence
  • Individual robots physically assaulting humans / revolting against human infrastructure.
  • Robot armies / large groups of threatening looking robots


For the purposes of my vid, robots are artificial, inorganic or partially inorganic beings with artificial intelligence (sentient or semi-sentient). No piloted mech suits, remote-controlled 'bots, or human brains in robot bodies. Human-form Cylons are just outside the scope of my vid, as are the nanobots from Big Hero 6. However, The Terminator counts, as do regular cylons, and Baymax. I may include cybermen just to contradict myself, but not Daleks.

Seeing C-3PO would make me very happy. R2D2 too, but really, my heart belongs to the stuffy gold one.

Also happymaking would be:
- The robot from Robot and Frank
- Robby & the one from Lost in Space
- TARS from Interstellar
- The Robot Chicken
- David from Prometheus (if androids are included)
- A cameo by a real-life robot such as Kismet

Oh speaking of human-robot affection: https://www.google.com/search?q=tv+robots&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&biw=1304&bih=712&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=UmIwVfrEBde3yASWjIGYAQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACSxoQv24w-aIIjioNbxhCipAQbJGh10FRXqFdTPx_1nyvYIsDcfj5vGstiG3jeEKYcGCBPsaNvMcNsEcob7nFYR7-aCoSCag1vGEKKkBBEZv-dvoHZzdNKhIJskaHXQVFeoURm_152-gdnN00qEgl1M_1H-fK9gixG7oFEp1CDybSoSCQNx-Pm8ay2IEQGryRLrhjkaKhIJbeN4QphwYIERB2OXVTH8O1AqEgk-xo28xw2wRxFxQVuDGPXRYioSCShvucVhHv5oEQ11feGskSCz&q=banderas%20automata

And for human-robot violence, there's Buffy fighting with robostepdad John Ritter in "Ted."

Robot Chicken is more a cyborg and Tin Man's a person made into a metal being. Otherwise, all of these fit (and nearly-but-not-all of them are in the vid in one form or another already).

Awesome. This is going to be awesome. & appreciate the explanation of the (highly necessary) project constraints!
