Quirky minimalist robots and note-perfect sound design snap together into a delightful CG short film called Microbots from Brighton-based 3D motion designer Arran Bish and the audio talents at BXFTYS.
Arran Bish: “Microbots is a personal project I have been working on in my spare time over the past few months. The narrative follows a building of simple moving structures which form complexity in a playful, dynamic way – as if they were working together, to create something bigger and better.
“Initial development began with exploring dynamic springs and connectors in Cinema4D. This was particularly challenging because you never quite know what result you’ll end up with, so it is a case of tweaking the physics parameters, with much trial and error.
“Many different camera moves and unique compositions were also explored throughout the process. All the rendering was done in Redshift with compositing done in After Effects.”
