Will-Bot in Friend or Foe.

Will-Bot in Friend or Foe
A 5 min short film about two robots on a moon.
I directed, and created and designed the universe. The production took place in 2011-12.
(c) 2012 Nice Ninja.

The film was a co production between Nice Ninja and the Truemax academy. With only a small grant from A.N.I.S the budget was tiny.

It was quite a challenge. All my work on the film had to be after normal work hours, time was limited, the production crew was mostly students that had little previous production experience and very few animation skills. They rose to the occasion, put in a lot of hard work and managed to reach a very high level of output.

Character design for the two main characters in the "Friend or Foe": Will-Bot Maintaince Alfa model 0002 and Big-Bot.  It was quite tricky for the students to transfer the designs to 3D and they were redone many times. Below are a few design drawings and notes.
