      Will it walk around or other movements? If not, the reason for that will be there would have to be a lot of programming and testing for it to move around.

This is an easy 10.000 Euro and that's setting the bar low, between 160 and 200 hours, 50 Euro per hour is already 8-10 G's only in labor.

      As someone who has worked, and whose wife still works in the film industry, prop artist get paid a lot, finding a prop artist like her who made something for a small studio is a gem. While she has donated her time and money, she could easily list this video, this prop, and the movie they make in her portfolio and it would catch the eye on any major film studio that would pay her well for her work.

    • @zeus04
      @zeus04 3 місяці тому +14

      @@lucbloom I very much agree. I already had a bad taste in my mouth when they donated the PC to LTT for free! At least then she got exposure in a video from LTT if I remember correctly. I feel worried that more and more companies will learn to avoid paying fair compensation to artists as this trend continues.

    • @whoatemychocolate
      @whoatemychocolate 3 місяці тому +16

      @zeus04 I don't think this is comparable to LTT since the proceeds of that project went to charity (as far as I know) so it's not like they made a free thing that was used to generate profits for LTT. Also, personally, I found out about Nerdforge through that LTT video and I'm sure that was the case for other people too, so that was definitely beneficial for both channels. I completely agree though that if this is a commercial project they should have paid, especially if they're going to scan the robot.

    • @zeus04
      @zeus04 3 місяці тому +7

      ​@@whoatemychocolateYes, I agree that is an other thing entirely. That time it just felt a bit "uneven". The video would have been better if there was some kind of exchange benefitting both parties (as LTT has done with NAS hardware etc.) The free model for the Movie is outrageous. T
      his is not a acceptable way to treat artists and it sets a very bad example to everyone in the industry, especially smaller studios and workshops not yet established.
      The fact that she seemed to shop supplies for the project and general supplies for herself (the tape) suggests that they weren't even compensated for materials.
      One thing that puzzles me is if there is a transfer of IP rights for the model, if not, the Movie studio could be charged with huge license fees after the fact...

    • @artcasual99

      According to her in the comments, they (the film makers) offered to pay but they (Nerdforge) turned them down because they wanted to make something they enjoyed and was their own design. The film makers were 100% wiling to pay but were instead given a free robot.

When they begin animating him (and yes, I've gendered said robot because it feels like a "he") the personality you've already imbued him with will guide the animators I'm sure. This project is amazing. I hope you get more requests like this because you deserve this kind of recognition for your artistry and ability.
