[@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]

[@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.

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

15:00 Easy to add castors under the feet, and later maybe hide an RC Offroader under one foot and it might move around a stage or smooth floor. It is ace. 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.

1:49 That really is a most "boopable" nose! Lol 😂😂

Really enjoying your content. Not only are your projects a lot of fun, you are fantastic at presenting them!

These rounded eyes gave me feeling on Fallout's Mothman in the dark. Love it!

I haven’t even watched the video yet, but I just wanna get this off my chest. My love for this channel and content has become so great over the years that when this popped up in my notifications tab, I didn’t even read the title of the video. I just saw NerdForge had posted something and I immediately sucked in a breath of excitement and clicked on it. Now that I have read the title I’m doubly invested to see Martina’s madness manifest into reality.

Me too. I chose to watch this video first over several other channels that I like as well.

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.

Hoping I can bump up this very useful advice!

[@TheDivineSeraphim]

OMG!! It's the alien robots from 'Batteries not included'. THAT"S FABULOUS!!! Totally Genius Martina!! LOVE IT!!!

[@twisteddolldesigns6190]

Yea, it reminds me of the baby, one who struggled loads with walking and flying and the big fella cared for it 😂 best child memory ever that film, Bloody loved it, lol 😆

[@threadyprawn8944]

That's what I was thinking! As soon as I seen it I had a trip to nostalgia

[@doublea1148]

It looks like something out of the Half Life games to me.

Your room is so cool, I love that window, I thought it was a greenscreen until I saw all the different angles

Imagine just randomly driving down the road one evening and seeing this. Even more funny if it had motion sensors to make the lights come one when you get near it.
