First All-Artificial Feature Film Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-takes-some-work dept.

Hugh "Nomad" Hancock writes "Machinima.com have just released the DVD version of Killer Robot, award-winning filmmaker Peter Rasmussen's buddy movie about two mining robots who set out to protect their "meat-sack" masters from a master mining robot gone insane. The twist here is not only that it's Machinima, made in 3D Game Studio, but that even the actor's voices are computer-generated using programs like Festival, making this possibly the world's first all-artificial movie."

    You approach the problem from too narrow a view. The car will consult any nearby cars on a transmission frequency and based on their distances and urgencies (e.g. law enforcement vehicles) they will together decide the best course of action.

    On another note. I left mine in my pants pocket last week when I threw them in the laundry. It went through the washer AND the dryer (and our dryer gets DAMN hot!) I thought 'no way is it going to work'. Seems to work just fine, I was SO impressed!
