I would like Martina to clarify this a bit as she seemed a bit nervous the whole video and I’m afraid she wasn’t sure it was going to be done on time or any good (which of course, we all knew, she knocked it out of the park) If I was her, I’d say something like “they were poor film students and friends of mine”, or “I got a cut of the revenue of the film” or even “if you do creative work, always make sure your hours are compensated, even if you’re ‘trying it out’ or are unsure if you can do it”

[@dutchguy1975]

The amount of hours you put in it, the design, the rush order. to be honest, I know you can make a video about it and monetize but you should have been compensated for at least part of it. This is an easy 10.000 Euro and that's setting the bar low, between 160 and 200 hours, 50 Euro per hour is already 8-10 G's only in labor. Really amazing result, and you seemed less awkward vlogging while shopping.... you are making progress Martina!

[@anyahati]

Exactly what I was thinking - when she said they weren't paying for it I was actually shocked.

[@potie6548]

Yes, they should have paid her, not only for the time she spent on it but also for the materials

[@quinn-676]

Sounds like it might be a really small outfit of a movie studio, where 8-10k could be a significant portion of their budget. As someone who has worked, and whose wife still works in the film industry, prop artist get paid a lot, finding a prop artist like her who made something for a small studio is a gem. While she has donated her time and money, she could easily list this video, this prop, and the movie they make in her portfolio and it would catch the eye on any major film studio that would pay her well for her work. Her getting to make a prop like this not only seemed to really excite her and give her a lot of enjoyment, it also opened a lot of doors in the future should she want them.

[@Lee_Proffit]

I hope they were her friends, had no money and could not promise her a cut of the profit. Otherwise there’s no excuse. Or charity. Would have loved a bit of explanation, as she is a role model to a lot of artists and is setting quite a bit of a problematic precedent.

[@zeus04]

@@lucbloom I very much agree. I already had a bad taste in my mouth when they donated the PC to LTT for free! At least then she got exposure in a video from LTT if I remember correctly. I feel worried that more and more companies will learn to avoid paying fair compensation to artists as this trend continues.

[@whoatemychocolate]

@zeus04 I don't think this is comparable to LTT since the proceeds of that project went to charity (as far as I know) so it's not like they made a free thing that was used to generate profits for LTT. Also, personally, I found out about Nerdforge through that LTT video and I'm sure that was the case for other people too, so that was definitely beneficial for both channels. I completely agree though that if this is a commercial project they should have paid, especially if they're going to scan the robot.

[@zeus04]

​@@whoatemychocolateYes, I agree that is an other thing entirely. That time it just felt a bit "uneven". The video would have been better if there was some kind of exchange benefitting both parties (as LTT has done with NAS hardware etc.) The free model for the Movie is outrageous. T his is not a acceptable way to treat artists and it sets a very bad example to everyone in the industry, especially smaller studios and workshops not yet established. The fact that she seemed to shop supplies for the project and general supplies for herself (the tape) suggests that they weren't even compensated for materials. One thing that puzzles me is if there is a transfer of IP rights for the model, if not, the Movie studio could be charged with huge license fees after the fact...

[@artcasual99]

According to her in the comments, they (the film makers) offered to pay but they (Nerdforge) turned them down because they wanted to make something they enjoyed and was their own design. The film makers were 100% wiling to pay but were instead given a free robot.

Really like how you used all your skills and moved out of your comfort zone to build this. Note on the spackle usage: You normally have to sand down with rough grit (80-100) then a finer grit (200+) when finishing it, BUT to help with smoothing it out before hand use a little Dawn dishsoap (others do not work as well, but test and see) in the spackle mixture you apply. It does help with the amount of your favorite activity... SANDING :D Again, hats off and well done to you all and your studio.

I do have a couple of robot ideas in mind but I was thinking of making it from wire ,covered in printed material so it was wearable.😂😂 I also like the idea of making a woodland shelter shaped like a flying saucer (I know they've been done before but there aren't enough of them). Your Robot looks great and it's only half built...I'll watch some more. EDIT: Yes, you are a Genius! And Hans is a magical painter! I love the rust and ageing on the side panel too.

Really cool project. One note, for other big projects, I fell really in love with extruded aluminum. Before I knew that this stuff exists, I would never imaged what this material enables to do. It sits between welded steel and wood.

Two years ago I did a production (im a event tech) for a Swedish SFX company(not allowed to say which but mainly does games and movie, for example Star wars), and set their creations exhibition at the Moxy X, outside Hvam, with ASUS as the client. Your creation is as good as theirs. I love your work, you have come so damn far as i first started subscribing to you, you can go damn far still. Let nothing stop you, be where this huge company can see you, appreciate your work and hire you for that price you're worth! You can and you will be making such legendary creations!

This was an AMAZING project! The beauty shots in the snow had such a Simon Stalenhag vibe... Wonderful.

[@cosmicoordinates]

Your expression at 22:24 is amazing! So excited and probably proud too. Congrats on your awesome art

[@Umbra-r4k]

It got that tales from the loop vibe from Simon Stålenhag. Great work.

[@adriansurette4342]

Exactly my first thought

[@briangates8428]

Been watching your channel for a few years, really hope this project opens new opportunities to have more of your work in films/video games.

The paint job is AMAZING and the small details really make it pop! At 720p you can't tell it's not metal and it looks like an old clunker in the best way possible! I see two major quality-of-life issues with this design. Something this good is _definitely_ going to a Con or a theater for display at some point, after all. First, assembling it vertically is more dangerous and difficult than it needs to be (as is anything involving lifting above your shoulders or using a ladder). The Mk. 2 of this should be designed so it can be assembled horizontally - lying on its back - and then pulled upright with all parts locked in place. (This would also resolve the issue with getting the leg joints lined up.) Second, you also want the individual parts movable with a hand truck at most. All parts should have at least one dimension less than 80 cm in length, to get it through a door and in general be easy to carry. There should also be open spots on the "armor" that serve as contact points with the floor or ground, for easy storage or transportation when disassembled; the last thing this masterpiece needs is for the aesthetic bits to rub off. Removable "armor" panels with zip-tie attachment points, maybe? A physically smaller build might get away with _Velcro strips_ or snaps.

I love the fact that Martina can see her project with just the base done. I'm the same, but I never really met someone else who can get just as giddy over just something bare, because they can see their vision working out. I sometimes try to explain my vision to people and how I can see it totally working out, but they never grasp it until its fully done.

[@lucbloom]

It is part of the appeal of these videos. Seeing the bare bones get filled in because “you know it’ll be good” and you don’t have to do any work.

[@GlamGoreChaosQueen]

THIS. and the more excited you are, the less they understand. I always just end up cutting myself off with, well you'll see. Just trust me. 😂

[@francescathomas3502]

That was AMAAAAAZING!! Martina you are so so incredibly talented!!! This robot reminds me of the 2nd original Star wars movie - The Empire Strikes back - with those stubby little robots with square heads and backwards legs, stomping around. Yes I know I am showing my age!! LOL But I am 60 years old and a HUGE FAN of Martina's work. LOVE this channel so much!!!

[@vinzent2881]

That's an imperial knight soooooo GLORY TO THE GOD EMPEROR AND GLORY TO HOUSE NERD FORGE!!!!!!

[@TheLord0Ice0Wind]

[@ViniVidiVlog]

Martina is getting one step closer to building an entire fantasy dystopian city of her own.

[@rickytleung]

Awesome build! It's amazing how far you've come and have built up a reputation on building stuff and people are approaching you to build stage props for their indie films

[@ashlynd9297]

dang these builds just keep getting more insane

[@mank3y_]

Amazing build, looks like you had some fun making this! Hella cool, i really like the grebles and the weathering, bought it together. Nice :)

[@hadinossanosam4459]

10:49 ...and now it needs some dialogue, because that "speaking" motion is perfectly adorable
