As this is a video submission I can't put a link on the robotday logo but I'm supposed to make it go here: http://www.newgrounds.com /collection/robotday2012
This is the 3rd episode of Pip the Robot and this one is a follow up to 'Button'
Pip is trapped in a room based on 'Relativity' by M.C. Escher which possesses some weird gravity. He's being monitored by a couple of Robots in a control room. What are they doing? Just one more mystery for Pip to solve... although he has no idea what's going on.
I was working on this cartoon before I made Button but preparing the room took a very long time so I slotted button in as a prelude. Go and watch Button first so you have an idea of what the Button 'does' although it's not essential.
I've made this one longer than the previous 2, however when I started it Pip still couldn't change his facial expressions, although I have since refined the design and next time you see him he will be expressive!
I'm Excited to have this finished in time for Robot Day and I hope you all like the character, there's loads more I can do with him. For an insight you can like Pip on Facebook at facebook.com/PipTheRobot which I update regularly.
Pip will return in Noirbot, which is currently in the pre-production phase.

I DONT UNDERSTAND!
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 22, 2012
A very good submission. I like the story telling here. No words are being used, but we still can follow the story with ease, since you chose to present the scenes in a very "calm" way (and by "calm" I mean that there aren't any unnecessary changes in camera angle, like Michael Bay loves to do it).
Also, Pip the Robot is a very charismatic main character. If you can say that about a robot anyway... but it's nice to follow Pip on his adventures.
The only thing I didn't like where the reflections on one of the robots in the "control room". Of course, the idea of adding a reflection was pretty nice. But it didn't change when the robot moved, so it looked more like a part of his painting than a reflection.
Anyway, overall this is a very good submission.

The reflections do move, it's all 3D with a reflective surface so whatever object moves also reflects the movement. Might be the perspective or something that confused you but I assure you the reflections move haha. Thanks for your review and look out for the next part!

5/5 for the animation and time you spent creating it. 1/5 for the story. Ok, the animation is great and the constant moving pictures keeps our attention but it can only go so far. Pitch together and work on a decent script by chopping and changing things. Overall it's good and would love to see more...story
Thanks for the review. I'm working out the best use of the character at the moment, it is hard to make a narrative with a clear story without dialogue, I've been adding facial expressions to him and trying to come up with funny situations to put him into rather than trying to make full on narratives as a lot of the reviews I've got are stating that the story doesn't make sense. It's still early days so I'm fairly sure he will find himself. Keep a lookout because there is more coming!
