Cogs, Creatures, and a Creation (2025) is a 3D animated short film about a robot named Robotto, who yearns for companionship. After observing the world around him and reading a potions book, he decides to take matters into his own hands and build his own friend. With fur, plants, and paper, Humanie immerges from the pot, confused, wobblily, but happy to be a friend. Robotto had succeeded in finding the companion he has been looking for.
This was a hybrid 3D/2D junior animation group project made in Blender at Arizona State University School of Art. It was made with two of my friends Mykayla Hunter and Cesar Paramo Saucedo for our Junior Capstone. I did animation, character designs, 3D modeling, storyboarding, editing, compositing, and most of the sound.
