Love Death & Robots Behind The Scenes

If Love Death + Robots volume three is anything like its predecessors, then we are in for some more spectacular sci-fi and horror stories. With that, we thought we would take a peek behind the animation process for the shorts and how they came up with their best ideas. Like, did you know it’s really hard to make an animated horse look good? We’re covering that in The Secret War. The composer probably has the hardest job of anyone. Any guesses as to why? If you don’t feel like guessing, just watch! Every short came with its own unique animating challenges but The Tall Grass had an especially interesting challenge. How were they going to give the grass its own personality? The most important factor for Automated Customer Service had to be the character designs. And man, were they something! Snow in the Desert had a unique challenge to handle: motion capture with kissing actors! All Through the House, the show’s first motion capture episode still used elements of CGI. Life Hutch was another level of difficulty given they needed to fully animate Michael B. Jordan and have it indistinguishable from the real him. The actor’s performance was incredibly important in this one. This was also the case for Helping Hand. It was important that The Drowned Giant’s animation be as close to reality as possible to evoke a sense of wonder in the viewers. There’s something special inside every episode of Love Death + Robots, and we hope this video captures just a little bit of all of them. Give it a watch if you’re as obsessed with this show as we are!
