World's most Realistic Robots Dream of electric sheep. Babe animatronics BTS

[iwakokrazy]

I thought in the movie they were just real talking sheep!!! HUH????

[Aiko0]

I always thought they were computer animated! :O

I wanna get into making robots now.

[shortyumpire]

How did the border collie respond to all of this? He must have been confused! Or was he also a robot?

[GregOrca]

@shortyumpire

The sheep had real sheep fleeces & smelt the same. We actually rubbed sheep poo on their bums & other stuff like that so that the other farm animals would act naturally around them & ignore the motor noise.

The dogs were SUPER smart so they just enjoyed it all & acted however the trainers wanted them too.

We had real sheep standing right next to the robots, The real sheep felt secure in numbers with the robots & so all the critters just seemed to act naturally & were comfortable.

NGUKNUCKS pussy its just robots

[THCIFilms]

2:25 ...

[instrumentenfreak]

Wow ... this is the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time!

[Kaldyo]

kill it!! MONSTER SHEEP!!! KIILL KILL

[Wicachow]

Aww a kangaroo

wait

terminator kangaroo

plot twist

[TheStitch1000]

this is why you dont get a degree in technology JUST before smoking pot and deciding "HEY! LETS MAKE A FREAKIN SHEEP!!!"

[MindGameX54]

NOPE! Chuck Testa

[MokonaHat]

They look SO realistic (The sheep and the kangaroo)

I always tought those animals were computer-made, not that they were animatronics.

Realley realley cool! ^^

[TheInspector3000]

I'm going to go back in time and replace blade runner with this.

[so2fast4u2]

@willem01  ROFLCOPTER Nice one.

[willem01]

i wonder what that cost? ..im sure it wasnt sheap!

*badum-tissh!*

: I

[DeathnoteBB]

I remember back when this was how movies were made instead of just with CGI.

[halfingr]

Have you guys ever considered going into taxidermy? =]

[Brusier47]

Someone was capping in the begging.

[stefman666]

who was the tard clapping that the beginning?

[DrawingByBria]

I'd use the talking ones for tours in like Australia or on Farms! :D

[Wodashit]

I'm so sad many studios are abandoning animatronics and models to 3D images and effects, I take jurassic park as the perfect example, you have both CGI and animatronics and even so many years later the animatronics give you an impression of life and so much feelings. It's the same for the models in the first star wars that still seems more realistic than the new ones and nowadays keep me dreaming about flying an X-Wing.

[GlopeClover]

lol

[RetroBacon1]

1:06 TERMINATOROO

[Siska0Robert]

2:26 I WANT THIS OVER MY FIREPLACE!

[desjaraah]

shiting robots,you can't explain that!

[anzwertree]

Movies are not the same anymore. Nowadays everything is a CGI acid trip

[TheTransmuter]

Incrível, incrível, incrível. Muito bom mesmo. Agora já acredito: Robôs podem sonhar com ovelhas elétricas!

[981407036x]

sigh people just dont use puppeteering anymore... everything is done with CG now :(

[dragos240alt]

Not creepy at all. I don't see this as creepy. It's just cool usage of robotics.

[totalwar5]

childhood ruined

[mareksmolny]

man thats creepy

[kkaayynniinnee]

1:11 It's the Kangaroonator.

[MrFox1231]

i hope you didnt use real fur.

other than that fuckin epic.

[qoaa]

@MrFox1231 uhm there is no harm in using real fur, that's what sheep are used as a renewable resource you shear the sheep, it grows back, rinse and repeat and you don't kill for wool :P so of course they did use real sheep's wool

[MrFox1231]

@qoaa i meant to say animal skin.

[qoaa]

@MrFox1231 ah ok, in that case you're right :)

[Alexkitty15]

O___O

[therealpatros]

awesome crafting .. i always thought those were real sheep with cg animations added afterwards.. BUT THAT WAS 1994!! :O

it seems that japanese robotic manufacturers who put a lot emphasize on lifelike creations have a lot to learn from you

[MrFox1231]

@therealpatros i think one of the main diference here is that japan focus on more automatic robots with a functional ai. while this is mainly a work of art. still incedibly good work put into these robots including the fact that this it was before 2000.

[Pahjx]

1:08 OMG it's the Terminator Kangaroo

[victoriaisntsosecret]

I remember this movie! Yeah...gave me nightmares about the end of the world. A sheep apocalypse.

[AmunExorbis]

Very very nice work ! It's things like these why I still prefer animatronics above CGI

[Raynelm]

Those sheep weren't real????????????

[GregOrca]

@Raynelm

There was a mix of real sheep and robot sheep standing side by side in most shots. Anything that talked or acted was a robot. We made about 11 robot sheep so if the flock needed to look bigger we mixed real sheep in amongst them.

[Archaeopteryx1861j]

Soo diabolical!

[EcakCake2]

LOL @ the sheep quoting star wars

[krazygzandjm1898]

AweSoMe

[PoiMaverick]

Amazing work all around! I would love to get into this industry- I already do high detail animal masks, it wouldn't take much to adapt this ability to go into animatronics. Thanks for posting this up, what incredible teamwork and an amazing end result!

[NGUKNUCKS]

Why did you have to include the sad part at the end? God I was totally happy until that part in this video...

[GregOrca]

@NGUKNUCKS

Hi Sorry about that. But I wanted to remind viewers that with effective film making an audience can experience strong emotions. Rather than just being technically interesting puppets, with the right combination of elements you can actually empathise and feel strongly about them.

[Lonsoleil]

Holy crap! That's amazing. I always thought those sheep were real, but had animated mouths or something.

What talented people to have come up with something this awesome! I wish I was smart enough to do stuff like this.

[jerome96114]

This thing would be great to spy the taliban ... Sure that noone of them would suspect a sheep to be used as a military drone ...

[rshep83]

wow, amazing work!!

[dolbymandts]

1:07 terminator kangaroo

eeep :)

[bones99999]

Nice work! Love seeing Aussy Animatronics. Should be more of it!

[thomasanddiesel]

that is amazing.....! so real it's unbelievable

[leokimvideo]

ah yes one of the most beautiful films ( babe 1) my daughter loves it and so do I, too bad Mr Noonan does so few projects, he has a beautiful touch.

lots of heads I have not seen in a long time, great insight into what is a certified classic.

timeless and placeless film, why don't we make more films like this in Oz, whats going on?
