Lucky Elephant – ‘Edgar’

Music video I wrote and directed for Lucky Elephant. The music video follows a small toy robot as he travels to a homemade rocket, and flies 95,000 feet up into space. The space scenes were filmed for real, using a small HD camera and a helium weather balloon. You can read the project blog here.

  9. ninaeatsnoodles:

    [..YouTube..] I have listened to Lucky Elephant before but never saw this until right now. I was pleasantly led here while I was watching weather balloon videos, and saw the making of this. So, I’m sickly obsessed with robots and this made my heart swell so much. This makes me SO happy. I have a sleeve of my favorite robots started on my left arm… I’ve named this video-robot Edgar, and I’m very excited about getting him inked as part of my sleeve. Where can I get my own robot copy? Brand, store, etc…?

  10. troshy:

    [..YouTube..] @ninaeatsnoodles Thanks! Great to hear you like the video and the robot! :) Since making the video, I’ve seen the robot for sale in a couple of comic book stores and also on eBay. The robot is called ‘Mechanical Planet Robot’ made by ‘Ha Ha Toy’ – you should be able to find it on Google.

    [..YouTube..] Hi All. Well I am surprised no one caught this yet! Your Edgar is none other than Robbie the Robot who made his 1st appearance in the Movie Forbidden Planet in 1956.
    Starring: Walter Pidgeon, Leslie Nielsen, Anne Francis
    This movie is a cult classic and should be seen by all SciFi Fans!
