^^^ Click Image Above to Play the 1st Animated Short Film on @DTUBE! #DTube ^^^ # Introducing B&B: Roommates. The first Animated Short film on Steemit! *This story is about two military robots who are roommates. Brutus is large and in charge and loves things in their proper order.* **Bob, not so much.** Check out what mischief these two get into when things get out of hand and the tensions are high... ![2.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmT1vWHtsX42kZ4aeC1y4TXrZExAkumwbBZNNSDaYV2DW6/2.JPG) This short film was created by me and my amazing production team (*Ben, Ike, Felicia, Antonio, Nate and Danelle = B.I.F.A.N.D*) whilst in art school. **B&B won us 4 out of 5 awards at the NEXT Talent Awards.** I wanted to create an animated movie like Wall-E, so I pitched my idea and my 3D model Brutus to our Animation Production Class, and my Idea got selected as the 2 quarter major project. I was thrilled, as being the Director, Producer, 3d Modeler, 3d Lighting TD and leading the team to create an animated short film was a lot to bite off, but I was up for the challenge! ![0.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc7fMVqEPx5pzjH38Jyi67GFShgP981YsXNExK7eXverD/0.JPG) We had hopes of submitting the short film to Siggraph, alas life got in the way and held us back from achieving the submission by deadline. It's a lot of work to submit your work to Film Festivals, but at least we got 1 in, won a bunch of awards and have a short film and experience we will never forget. ![3.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdxciarJRAfZC2zyjXZLNW5jPQY22Nq8aEqN9UBFqCBK3/3.JPG) I really enjoyed my time with my team, and creating B&B was a dream come true. Ever since I was inspired by the movie Wall-E, I wanted to create 3D Models and short films. I'm sure this short film wont be my last, but if it is, I would be satisfied with what we accomplished. I'm very proud of my team. ![4.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSwMsLkfNMR3vPYLUsGhZHkZJUy2cy4EmANcSzxvLxRvN/4.JPG) Pictured above are 2 of the 4 awards we won, my team was kind enough to gift them to me, but I only kept 1, which was "Best Short Animation" and best design went to my dear friend Joe G. whom killed it on the sound effects. I gave the rest of the awards to those I felt deserved them the most. I modeled Brutus and did all the lighting and texturing for the short film, as well as the sound track, but I wasn't alone in creating this work of art. ![5.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSznSjfzd2UtU2pMLgHCexG3yQRwFo4mSdpGMze5xnoU2/5.jpg) The concept art was done by my buddy Marquis. Which is incredible work. ![6.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSfsbsueqMugiDKMtiNcK7e2cmcfAtrnWzDTA7aGXGa2v/6.JPG) As you can see, Brutus wasn't easy to model, in fact we had to remove many parts to get him Animation ready. ![7.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdPYML4rFEeZ5m5uEQ4y1L5Bc9MCM1US4D7Lgxjw19C5a/7.JPG) Here are some fancy production renders I did of Brutus. ![8.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQtk4urrd6SNRPmwPHcyL9ru92x5M8cLM4rc9QQAQA1VD/8.jpg) Notice his big red eye, which was inspired by HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) ![9.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS27JqsDzHoLZQVR6zMNG8Q7g4zvQG5U3U5zK9XN9ynrb/9.jpg) The body's shape was inspired by the Animated Disney movie "The Incredibles" ![10.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYoc1QqsxA8KzqrLEmQwaDg93apjLCS6z79trqSi9vqTd/10.jpg) One of the images from the original short film credits pays homage to Star Wars. ![11.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWfTUzAQEt1TUmsvAXNwAE9vr8pBXYHmQxcLew3wF1fDV/11.JPG) Below me and my team stand proud holding all four our of five possible Awards. We earned every single one of them. I couldn't have done it without my team. Very proud. ![82F0E6F5-E16C-431D-939E-C287A7A8FA21.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaDmPfTyTEwkfcyLoMd7LB4pqPGTFWE8uJMghRWhzQqdU/82F0E6F5-E16C-431D-939E-C287A7A8FA21.jpeg) We drew a pretty big crowd for the Awards. Hundreds got to see our short film on the silver screen. ![12.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcAv1UuXvaNzSeTu3bkCSy5Ptd2h7ym2FXeNjsrLhu8Z1/12.JPG) Maybe one day I'll make enough Crypto to create a Feature Length Film, one can dream right? Hope you all enjoyed our short film and thank you for your time. :) ![1.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc4RVwvUGYUNuwjRWnE6WzzUaq7oiJcBUkL5vT525cpxQ/1.JPG) # My Personal Guarantee: No matter if you’re a Whale 🐳 , Dolphin 🐬 , Minnow 🐠 or Plankton 🐟, I’ll treat you all the same. 🤙 ![Lets-be-friends.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPnbyCDmh3u8gT6XL9ZEwrihuj6VvJUeF9uMQRraoLZ7W/Life-Inspired.gif) # Dear friends, if you enjoyed this post: **upvote** = together we are strong! **resteem** = spread the love/quality! **comment below** = we grow together!
