Recurring FAQ: Hey? Where’s all the detail on your work? Seems a touch high level no?
Answer: There’s a reason for that: my career has been underpinned by every creative’s favorite golden handcuffs: NDAs. There are extreme limitations on what I can share, but that doesn’t mean I can’t talk more detail 1:1, just reach out.
ROBOT WARS
SKAL Mk2
CLIENT
Robochallenge
PROJECT BRIEF
Support and collaborate with robochallenge UK on the redesign and renewal of house robots for the show, Robot Wars. House robots are to return, with modernized designs for the renewal of the show, and need to encapsulate their original spirit with a modern look. Specifically look to the redesign of star house robot, sir Killalot, and develop a new design aesthetic.
PROJECT ROLE
Lead Design on Sir Killalot, Prototyper
PROJECT OUTCOME
Newly designed house robot influenced by modern trends in robotics, gaming, warfare technology, and modern sci fi. Hints and homage to original design and era specific sci fi integrated throughout. Newly designed robot became darling of show, with significant media attention at the time of unveiling
METHOD
Multi source design process drawing from multiple mediums, industries, and periods. Amalgamation of aesthetic produced through feedback from showrunners, producers, fans of original show, and personal desires for the look of Sir killalot
PROCESS
Rapid transition to 3D from concept sketching and mood boards. Extremely tight deadline to get robot ready for test filming, so a transition to experimentation in 3D at an early stage was necessary. Mixture of 3d clay modelling and hard modeling in conjunction with 3D printed prototyping for accuracy and high fidelity presentations used to move project along as rapidly as possible
