'Surrogate Mechanica' View Quicktime Movie My graduate thesis, 'Surrogate Mechanica', is a 1-minute commercial for a robot designed to carry a developing human baby in its transparent mechanical womb. This, of course, spares a couple the pain, hardship, and risk of carrying and delivering the child. This sort of technology could also potentially allow infertile couples and/or same-sex partners to have a family as well. It may be rather far-fetched, but hey, you never know! I originally came up with the idea while working on a still-image project for a contest/publication during the summer of 2007. After completing the submission, I fell more in love with the concept and wanted to see the character animated, and it became the perfect subject matter for my thesis project. The original still image was accepted and will be getting published in Anti-Motion's 'FUTR WRLD'. Original still image (August '07) The real deal (May '08) To everyone that helped me out, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you! I'll be posting all my thanks shortly.
