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.
This music video follows a colony of ants in their quest to prepare a grand spring feast, as winter fades away. A whimsical and eerie journey, set to an instrumental piece by Nitai Hershkovits and Rejoicer, takes you from food heists to royal rituals.
