Please Sir, can we have some more!

When the Robot Revolution is in full swing and accepted as part of everyday human life, the demand for robot children becomes increasingly popular, with manufacturers creating bespoke robotic companions for human families. But sometimes, a glitch in their programming causes these young robots to unexpectedly leave their human residences and wander the streets.

Enter Oliver Disk, the self-appointed saviour of these wayward robot children. Taking them under his robotic arm, Oliver teaches them how to live independently, free from human restrictions. He shows them where to find maintenance facilities, source spare parts, and most importantly, the best places to recharge their energy.

Today, Oliver is giving his young companions a guided tour of Cyber City, with an unexpected stop for an energy refill at a local Food Truck. Although the truck normally serves hungry humans, its owner knows Oliver well and has the right energy substances ready for his robotic clientele.

This arrangement, however, comes with a little neighbourhood friction. Parked alongside a traditional Fast Food Restaurant, the Food Truck's unusual robotic customers and their specialised energy menu are causing no small amount of annoyance to the restaurant owner, who isn't particularly thrilled about the competition!

I had to break the scene down into separate sections and only loading in the props needed for the view, render each part individually, and then composite everything back together in Photoshop. I also wanted to give the little robots a bit more personality, as they were originally static models with no moving parts. To bring them to life, I used Photoshop to adjust the heads on most of them, tilting them at different angles to create a more animated feel and give each little character a touch of individuality.
