DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

  
I have been studying the work of Jeff Lew the creator of the "Killer Bean"
movies. So I wanted to incorporate some of his moves into a Red Dog movie.  The
little robot just showed up in my head one day. I sketched him out, scanned him
into Photoshop and then took that picture into blender for modeling.

The final scene was originally going to be the Introduction, kind of like the
Matrix. The new Intro changed that idea but I had worked so hard on the Matrix
thing that I couldn't just leave it out. So it became the final scene with
