"I wanted to acknowledge the more-than-human efforts it takes to make a film. As an animator and film maker myself, I understand the long hours, lack of sleep and food that happens when making a film...at times it's almost like you're more machine than man. Thus, in 2012, I designed robot trophies to honor the super human endurance it takes to be a film maker"
