Thanks for watching Vera & Sprocket's first big adventure, everyone! Your support means so much to us. A huge thanks to our wonderful crew, the support we had making the film, the NFTS and of course, to the fine folks at Dust! What a thrill to be included on such an iconic sci-fi platform. Stay tuned to our socials etc for more updates on our robot heroes...🤖 🤖
This film is out of this world! We want more robot heroes. Us earthlings want to know how and when you got into animation?! What's your favorite animated sci-fi? 🤖
@@watchdust thanks guys! Well, I suppose I've always loved it; Saturday mornings in front of the TV watching all sorts, from Disney classics to Harryhausen's finest work. Drawing was my thing, though (and still is). It wasn't until 2014 that I tried my hand at animation... And here we are! As for my favourite animated sci-fi, I love WALL-E and Treasure Planet in equal measures. I can't recommend them enough, and they each were a big inspiration for Build Me Up.
It is okay to grieve, but it should not blind you to those who are still with you. Nor shall you let rage rule you, lest you do an act you'll regret later. A fine sci-fi. Thank you 👍
If this is the future of film, then the future is bright indeed! This begs for a series of books for children and adults alike. What a treasure you've given us all. *Tom's wife Pam*
One thing I love is that the robots only lose everything else because of Vera ( I’m assuming Vera is the yellow one ) first she shoves sprocket into the googles cracking them then she rips out the truck controls like a dumbass and finally symbolically destroys the snowman all because she couldn’t get over the grief and being mad at sprocket even though he’s just trying to help in all three examples
I'm so glad that all came through for you! And yes, Vera is the yellow one and Sprocket the blue; Sprocket's POV and the credits were the only places to indicate that 😅 Grief is a difficult thing. Sometimes, we just need a little help, and a lot of love.
I will never get bored of watching this amazing and beautiful short film. It’s such a lovely story, I wish that we get to see more adventures from Vera and Sprocket, soon! We all need more of them. Well done on such a fantastic short film :)
What a wonderful show 💜 These two little bots have made my day, thank you 🩵💥👏👏👏👏 I hope to see more of the little guyes soon! Thank you again 🤗 😎 Texas
I remember years ago seeing a stop motion animated short film on RUclips where God lands on an alien planet & performs a sort of puppet show creating Adam & Eve for the native alien species. At the end of the show when Adam & Eve eat the fruit from the tree, God dumps them off the stage onto the planet & travels through space to a new planet where he prepares to perform the next show. I can't remember what the name of that short was, but does anyone else know & can provide a link to it?
We ran out of time to show it properly, but outside of the ship, they each have solar panels. Vera's is on her back, you can catch a glimpse of it in certain shots! So don't worry, they're alright... For now!
Have sci-fi thinkers and writers included how we deal with death in space adventure... do we carry out traditional funerals and memorials, or treat the bodies as a scarce material resource to be recycled.
This was an interesting discussion for us! We went for something that would be familiar to audiences, but that was also evocative of Jedi funerals. In the wider lore of this world, the Creator has great significance, and the robots building him a pyre and observing a sense of ceremony is intended to reflect their respect for him. But, we threw around many ideas... And perhaps other robots would have done things differently!
They are solar powered! They can charge in their ship too, but when off the ship they can manage. For a while, certainly. We ran out of time to include this, but if you take a look at Vera's back, you can see her solar panel :)
@@StevesGuideGood to know. I didn't recognize the rectangle on the back of Vera as a solar panel and I didn't notice any similar object on Sprocket. At 8:15 it looked like Vera ran out of power.
@@kevincozens6837 Yes, unfortunately it was one of those things that we just didn't have time to explore properly. Sprocket's panel would deploy from somewhere in his head. And yes, she does run out of power; she hasn't recharged from the ship, nor has she been in sunlight. Sprocket recharges (sleeps) while she waits by the pyre, so he's able to spare some of his charge to save her.
@@StevesGuide I know how much time it takes to make projects like this. Seconds of video can days, weeks, or even months to execute. A lot of story gets packed in to a short video but time and budget restrictions often mean certain details have to be left out. I look forward to seeing the next adventure of Vera and Sprocket.

@@StevesGuide was most of it pratical stop motion and with abit of cgi where needed , really enjoyed this one :D

God, this is beautiful. Absolutely fantastic character designs and storytelling. It's so good to see animation being done right.
Thank you! Stay tuned for more (hopefully!)...

What a lovely film. Thank you guys. The world needs more Vera and Sprocket. I (hopefully) will follow their future ventures with interest 👍
Our pleasure, glad to have you on board with us! :)
The Stop-motion animation is so detailed and smooth. And the robots expressing emotions just through their eyes alone was genius and well done.
Thank you! Glad you liked it ^_^ we certainly took a leaf out of Tom Hardy's book regarding 'acting with the eyes'...
Beautiful story about grief with stunning design of all the mechanical elements. Lovely Short.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@StevesGuidehope to see more from y’all soon!
Watching the floating embers indicated to me this will be a great animation. It did not disappoint! rubber ducky was nice touch.
One thing I love is that the robots only lose everything else because of Vera ( I’m assuming Vera is the yellow one ) first she shoves sprocket into the googles cracking them then she rips out the truck controls like a dumbass and finally symbolically destroys the snowman
all because she couldn’t get over the grief and being mad at sprocket even though he’s just trying to help in all three examples

A Really Cute, And Touching Video . . . :-)

Why thank you, stranger! What kind words :) we can't wait for the next adventure ;)
Im not crying, you're crying 😭. Incredible work guys, thank you
This film does its part to keep Kleenex in business..! Thanks, Jordan.
Nicely done. Easy to follow, no need for any words. The expressions on the little robots faces conveyed the story quite well.
We're glad you enjoyed it ^_^
A beautiful story.❤️
What a wonderful show 💜 These two little bots have made my day, thank you 🩵💥👏👏👏👏 I hope to see more of the little guyes soon! Thank you again 🤗

This was a great short! Hope to see more like this one. Greetings from Acapulco.
Our thanks to you! Greetings from York.
AI programed to love their creator. Humans should do that with AI too. Nice work.
this is so good I almost thought it had to be done with CGI, well done!
Many thanks indeed! :)
Интересный сюжет. Роботы, проявляющие эмпатию, обладающие человеческими чувствами, причём в лучшем их ключе. Здорово!

Wonderful short film. More episodes would be nice. 🤖🤖
Thank you! We're working on it... 🚀
@@StevesGuide ✨🔝✨

Amazing work Steve!
Thanks, stranger ;)
@StevesGuide You are welcome. I hate it when people destroy snowmen, so it hit me right in the feels
So beautiful 🥺
We need to know what happens to these two!
Stay tuned... We hope to be able to show you!
😊😊😊😊
👍👍
I just hope they find a power source soon...
We ran out of time to show it properly, but outside of the ship, they each have solar panels. Vera's is on her back, you can catch a glimpse of it in certain shots! So don't worry, they're alright... For now!
matt sent me here to watch this amazing film
He is doing the lord's work. Thanks for coming!
A scene in my heart that I can enjoy forever like it was kneaded by God
Nice animation
🙂👍!
And now i will always wonder what happened to them. 🤔
Well, we hope you won't have to wonder for too long... 🚀

Have sci-fi thinkers and writers included how we deal with death in space adventure... do we carry out traditional funerals and memorials, or treat the bodies as a scarce material resource to be recycled.

Everyone loves Film School shorts
I hope they find another power source soon or there won't be much in the way of future tales from them. :)
They are solar powered! They can charge in their ship too, but when off the ship they can manage. For a while, certainly. We ran out of time to include this, but if you take a look at Vera's back, you can see her solar panel :)

I miss the fact that my future is dust 😞
Got klennex..scotties waaaaaa all species feel
👏👏👏🥲
Hi.😮
Maybe I missed something, but what's the story about? Could need definitely some improvements here
I wonder if the movement of the backside of the walking robot being like a young lady was intentional.
Sure seemed slow to start
Mmmm
You can't have a friend with your foot on their throat.

Brilliantly done! 🤗👍💎
