Do robots dream of mechanical owls? A young woman in distress wakes up to find she has a “robot problem” in her apartment. As the wee ‘bots (resembling animated cuisenaire rods) cause mayhem, she calls for help on her rat-phone. Roused from the Winter Gardens, an exterminator and his giant caged owl come to the rescue! The promo was one of several that Crystal Bear-winning short film director Sam (Manurewa) Peacocke shot for The Mint Chicks. To create the miniature robots, life-size puppets were shot in front of a green screen, then composited into the action.
