Brickfilm of the Week: Robota

This week’s Brickfilm of the Week is Robota by Marc Beurteaux.

Typically, brickfilming is a fairly insular hobby. Brickfilmers know  of each other and other brickfilm’s work, but it’s rare for brickfilmers  to break out into other notable work, and it’s equally rare for other  filmmakers indulge in brickfilming. Marc Beurteaux, an animator and  director from Canada, is an exception. His film Robota is his  only brickfilm, but he’s contributed animation to TV series and shorts.  Robota made the festival circuit and has won many awards, all detailed  on the Brickfilms Wiki page here. Robota is  follows the story of a broken robot trying to survive in a robot world,  and features large puppets built out of LEGO and other construction  toys. It features some of the biggest models and sets ever seen in a  brickfilm.

Watch Robota on the Brickfilms Archive, and then head over to the spoilery discussion thread to discuss with your fellow brickfilmers!
