Filmbot, by Jeremy Cho



The Roto department's newest member, Jeremy Cho, brings us Filmbot. Seeing a theme ripe for robotic interpretation, Jeremy built a robot that projects film. Too bad the Lumiere Brothers perfected their own filmbot about 100 years ago. In actuality, it's thought that Jeremy is just using this "robot that projects film" story as a cover. It's widely believed that Filmbot projects images from the future right here in the present. We can't say for sure, since we can't exist simultaneously in the future and the present to see if what is being projected really is from the future, but he vehemently denies Filmbot's capabilities, so it must be true.

Did any of that make any sense? At all?
