Short film: R.U.R. Genesis

Short film: Project Kronos

This short film is an entry by Batwings & Bubblegum for Sci-Fi London’s 2014 48hr film competition. This means the whole film was made in 48hrs and that includes the special effects such as a 10-foot tall robot. Another twist of the challenge is the line and prop that must be used. They had to […]
