American Robot Episode 3 - Trailer

FIRST General Forum

Hi everyone!

It’s wednesday and there is supposed to be an episode 3 right? Well we got some help from the URI Student Film Association (and their $3000 camera) and we’ve got some awesome footage. Only thing is that all that footage is about 10 gigs and I’m still making the episode. I promise it is worth the wait. The sound and video will be amazing. Here is a 36 second trailer of what is to come.

Looks good so far can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Darn it…now I can’t wait for the episode to come out. It looks like it will be a good one. You know that having a $3000 camera on the robot breaks the rules. You are only allowed to have electric components costing $200 at most. Plus I think you are way too close to the overall $3500 limit.

again, another awesome job from 121! I can’t wait until the next American robot. I am SO hooked its ridiculous

Haha I wish. He would not let us use that camera on the robot. Rick did that with his Canon powershot. He made a mount for it and everything.

This weeks episode is going to be very different (and long). The SFA made it more like the real thing, there was even a confessional.

Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow…

What type of camera are you using… If I can convince the film guys on our team to come in we could get the footage we need.

We have a bunch of Cannon Gl 1, Gl 2, and XL-1’s I believe. I personally have a Cannon Optura 20 which I am satisfied with. We will hopefully create a summary movie at the end…
