Weekend Machinima: ColeMarie Soleil's "Sad Robot"

Here's a lovely and poignant story of a waddling robot looking to connect in all the wrong places, presented by ColeMarie Soleil, master of expressionist machinima, who chose a perfectly apt track from Pornophonique as its foundation:

Ms. Soleil, as it turns out, is now (finally) developing machinima professionally, and even has an in-world office. [SLURL] Here's a recent interview where she describes what drives her work:

The problem with SL is that [it's] so transient. Everything fades. Nothing is permanent. Everyone who has been here a decent amount of time has seen things they love go. To me, I wanted to document SL in a more permanent way. Sharing SL with people who might not have the chance to visit or have never played it, to me, was exciting.

She is incredibly talented, I found her machinema's on youtube a while ago, and was so blown away by her vision.

Very evocative. I wonder if the ending is intended to be ambiguous, or am I just reading too much into the one that keeps running into the wall...

To answer your question Galatea:
XD
I directed my robot friends with simple directions.
I simply said. Please be stupid.
In response, my girlfriend began running into the wall over and over
and I screamed laughing and told her to keep doing it 0,o
then I just said
JUMP AROUND RANDOMLY
I'm a pretty easily amused director XD
hahahahah

and thank you Sasy XD You're always sweet to me 0,o
