WOMBOT is a machine whose primary objective is to eat roots and dig burrows- but whose even MORE primary objective is to make whimsical short-form animated content for humans.
Wombot operates out of Footscray and is currently piloted by Zoë Medcraft and Felix Colgrave, who, despite the innovation of the robot, will likely do most of the animating manually.
JIB JAB - ECARD
WOMBOT created a short film about office-worker caterpillars for e-card platform JibJab. They challenged us to reinterpret their recognisable photo-cutout format, where paid users can upload photos of their own faces onto characters. They primarily wanted an e-card about retirement, but we kept it intentionally vague and open-ended so it can be applied to other milestones.
