CGI Making, Not New Military Robot for Army

Although the idea of military robot to join army looked interesting, it also generated other concerns about the consequences. Nonetheless, such an advanced robot is not yet released by any engineering/military organizations. What you see in the video is not any new military robot to join Army. It is in fact CGI making coming from Visual effects, production studio Corridor Digital based in Los Angeles.

During shoot, a human was there in place of the robot, wearing motion sensor suit, and the robot was added in his place later in visual effect editing. The Corridor Crew also posted a video on YouTube suggesting they used CGI to fake the military robots.

Parody of ‘Boston Dynamics’ Robots

In order to understand the intention of the video making, viewers can notice ‘Bosstown Dynamics’ appearing on bottom right of the video. The video making from Corridor Digital is in fact a Parody of “Boston Dynamics,” an American engineering and robotics design company. They mentioned Bosstown Dynamics instead of Boston Dynamics. Boston Dynamics debut clips of their latest robot creations in similar fashion.
