Показать описание
'PROTO' is a short film, produced by Eye Candy Film as an international co-production between Screen South based in the UK and Film Fyn based in Denmark.

The film was shot in August 2011 at Robocluster in Denmark, a genuine working robotics lab. It was completed in June 2012 and will premiere later this year.

DIRECTOR, WRITER: Nicholas Pittom
PRODUCER: Richard Georg Engström
PRODUCTION COMPANY: Eye Candy Film
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Luke Palmer

‘PROTO’ is a sci-fi action adventure, about a child-like, experimental robot, set in the robotics lab where he has been built. Although PROTO has been made to fulfil the ambitions of his creator, Prof. Andrews, he learns to find his own dreams and ambitions, and also the strength needed to realise them.

The main theme of the film is freedom, both literal and in the ability to choose one’s own destiny – to break free of expectations. We wish for the film, while an exciting and fun science fiction, to also capture a magical sense of wonder. PROTO will overcome the expectations and restrictions placed on him and discovering his true self.

It's amazing when you replace Proto with a human child, you see exactly how most kids are raised. Subtle social issue addressment. I love it.

Finally a nice sci-fi animated tale without a nasty dark ending. Well done.

Your short films are deserving of awards. Great story line; excellent writing.

There's a quote out there that applies here rather nicely, in my opinion: "Parents, don't be your kid's first bullies."

This is the most emotional and saddest video I've ever seen. I've watched this animation for 100's of time since couple of years and still love this animation. Hasn't found anything better, even closer to it.

I'm in love with kiddo robo and wonder if he was a real kiddo, I would have adopted him ;(

Hats off to the whole team for the concept, animation, story writing, music and everything, you all are magicians i swear...

Love happy endings. Thank you for not ruining it by having Proto run out of power and plummeting to his and her demise. Well done

Thanks for taking the time to have the AI's violin technic match the music and a real player.

The story itself is adorable. You're not the first sci-fi writer that's played around with the idea of robots being sentient or capable of emotion, but Proto and Harmony do make a cute couple lol. The detail I noticed most is their eyes. Just like humans, able to convey emotions deeply

Simply fantastic, wonderful and heartwarming. Finally a sci- fi short film with a happy end and a moral: If you are better than the rest you will get mobbed by certain (equal to real life)!

Some parents act like that older scientist if their children aren’t pretending to be robots.

He said PROTO can be used in military but he made him only 4 ft tall. But I liked the concept. There is a message about how to treat your kids.

What a beautiful story. I loved it! Thank you for your stunning creation. The old professor knew what he was doing all along, now didn't he.

Oh my gosh this was so GOOD!! I just love robots! So much!! I know one day robots will have emotions and we can all be friends! Learn from each other. People just think so much of the negatives that they don't give room for the good things about this.

Great film but if Proto was smart he would've followed orders and made his move after being mass produced.

Oh well done, you. In mere minutes you've brought tears to these jaded old writer's and teachers of writing eyes. Thank you. The effective short story--with a message/point--is alive and well in short film-er-video. Thank you.
