TRASH BOT
The idea behind this piece came about spontaneously. I initially set out to make a robot that looked friendly at first, and could transform into a deadly killing machine on a whim. A friend told me that the robot looked like a walking trash can, which inspired the idea of the robot turning angry and murderous if one repeatedly tried to throw recyclable items into it. I found the idea so amusing that I made an animation based off of the idea. Everything was modeled and textured in Blender. Decals were from a decal set found online, and environmental assets were from Quixel Bridge’s megascan asset collection. Sounds were taken from various sources including Counterstrike, Modern Warfare 2019, and Half Life 2. Voices were done by me with a voice filter.
Animated short film of a tragic encounter with Trash Bot highlighting the consequences of not recycling. Somewhat graphic Content.
