YLLW is an animation, Illustration, and motion Studio in London. Their first project to be made public is an exercise in designing robots to be silly, yet fun to watch.
We wanted each ‘Silly Robot’ to be different from one another, either in movement or conceptually so we created a set or rules; a strict colour palette, one texture and no more than 4 hours to create each one from start to finish (which we broke only a few times).
Each robot started as a sketch, we then worked directly wthin After Effects where we used shape layers and a few plugins to help speed up the design and animation process. We didn’t want to be too precious over every little movement and whatever we had at the end of a few hours usually went up to social media and we moved onto the next robot.
You can see each of the 50 individual robots as gifs in this gallery. -via The Kid Should See This

I, for one, would probably spontaneously combust if I saw that in my driveway...
...as long as George Lucas WASN'T IN IT...

But the design of this car just reminds me of slightly melted plastic or wax.

I just like them when they've got a lady on in the magazines and pinup portraits ^^ but not for the car itself but for the articles...
One of his early student films is shots of cars, and there are race scenes in both American Graffiti and THX 1138.
When he was in grade 12, he crashed a convertible sports car he was driving. The car itself was wrapped around a tree, and the impact was so violent that the racing seatbelt that Lucas had installed was ripped out of the car by the bolts. Lucas spent several weeks in hospital, felt lucky to be alive, and decided to make something of his life. He was failing Grade 12 at the time. He decided to go to film school...
And I think that fucker looks sweet.
