The Robots '78 - Cover - Kraftwerk

[@harleyjackson3708]

For those of you saying it looks too uncanny, this is actually exactly how it looked in the live performances at the time. He even nailed the exact robot movements 😁

[@antoniszpakowski819]

Nearly as original Andrew - you got it

[@Tigershark_3082]

This was absolutely excellent! I love how you added your own slight twist to it, with the differing variations in reverb/pitch

[@OldBloxycube]

if you're using FL STUDIO, I would recommend using a Clip Automation

[@ultramet]

Is this Ralf's burner account? Just simply amazing. Seeing them in Columbus, Ohio today then going to LA for several shows.

[@abaf209]

I would love to see Kraftwerk bringing back the 1978-ish Robots live. I think it would sound kinda like this. Excellent interpretation !

[@OldBloxycube]

this is some top tier cover ngl. i don't a really fan from the visuals, the lightning is really gives me really the uncanny valley vibes. still top tier

[@AndrewShawMusik]

That's a fair point. I also don't think the lighting is right in this. I was finding it hard to set the whole scene up!

[@OldBloxycube]

@@AndrewShawMusik it's understandable. setting 3D Scenes isn't really easy as it looks like. still thank you for the comment.

[@OldBloxycube]

@SaikoSqueaks you're not wrong

[@crowblunt536]

Kraftwerk may have a bit of uncanny feeling but they're using sounds and noises that'll make you vibing more and more so they're mixing that uncanny feeling into music and art

[@harleyjackson3708]

@@AndrewShawMusik in fairness, you nailed every movement of the robots from the live performance. I just saw the original live footage of this, it looks just like it. Although they played the 1991 version of the song in that concert.

[@Keesz1]

Superb again! And the 3D models!!!!

[@descendinguniverse666]

pitched down vocoder sounds sick, great cover over all

[@Pedro1745]

Woah dude, this is absolutely awesome. The video is great too, like if the robot 'members' of the band replaced their human counterparts and went touring forever (you know, inmortal machines) that would be epic. Imagine Kraftwerk now made only by robots and using AI to compose stuff like the Kling Klang Machine app.

[@harleyjackson3708]

This is actually how kraftwerk performed the song during the 90s up to the mid 2000s.

[@leogoulart7229]

Are the closed Laptops a reference to the 2006 concert where Florian had closed his laptop? If yes, so, it was totally cool! Great job at all! Impressive!

[@ejvideos07]

I'm hearing "We are the Roblox"

[@belonegr]

Hi! The arrangement is excellent but my ears stumble in the refrain played in completely different key.

[@GaryNumanfan-uo3nz]

Ralf looks cursed bruh💀

It's definitely interesting that you went with the 1990 vocoder instead of the kind they used in 78. It gives it a really interesting sound.

[@hotelmario5203]

Awesome! Love the bots 😀 also is it possible for you to upload the visual behind them with the words or at least send it to me

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Thank you - sure thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqqQoHSapJVgi6M

[@seanotron4559]

@@AndrewShawMusik that was nice Andrew Shaw. Just wanted to say I noticed. Very Cool.

[@A-ProductionsYT]

The vocals sound like the Votrax from the 1990 version! (Possibly a SC-01 in 1990, even though this is the SC-02)

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Yep, it's the SC-02.

[@pankaburek59]

Kraftwerk used votrax sc01 and votrax sc02 robovox have sc 02 but maybe it have sc01 also? Well theh might used sc01 samples and sc02 live

[@imlxh7126]

@@pankaburek59 I think Karl might be the one with the SC-01a? The only Votrax units I know about Kraftwerk using are the SC-02 and the prototype VS6 unit

[@pankaburek59]

@@imlxh7126 VS-6 and SC-02 were used by Florian Schneider, in Karl's solo work he also used some votrax sounding tts so maybe?

[@imlxh7126]

@@pankaburek59 yeah karl's working with SOME sort of votrax, definitely. the sc-01a and sc-02 sound pretty similar to me, i think the sc-02 just had some control upgrades. can't remember where i heard karl was using a sc-01 specifically though

[@A-ProductionsYT]

The vocals aren’t the best, but it is still good!

[@nu-art-studio4623]

totally awesome

[@colorizedenhanced-silentmo2805]

Hi, Andrew Shaw. this is particularly cute video. thank. :)

[@Rita_fox_therian]

Bro i love this video but does eyes on the robot creeped me out but great animation and vudei i must give you credit for that 😂💀

[@blutuf]

Wow really nice😇

[@Soundartprojekt]

Top Job

[@nickd7225]

Hey! I love this! Top tier! Can you please explain to me how you did the robots? Is it a 3d animation? I would really like to learn. Have a nice day 🥰

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Thank you! I started off by modelling each of the robot heads using scanned photos from the 3-D Catalogue photobook as a reference. I then modelled the rest of the robots purely by eye, and once all the assets were modelled you need to rig them. There are plenty of tutorials out there that should help. I then did a quick model of the Minimum-Maximum era stage, and created a backdrop in after effects to be used as a video texture in Blender. I added rotational keyframes for each limb of the robots, syncing them up with the music. Finally I added keyframes for the camera to change position, rotation, and focal length. It was a very long process! I'm still not all that familiar with Blender, but with enough time you can make some great looking stuff.
