20 Sec Maya Animation

What if everyday objects were alive and conscious? Would we still act the same way with what we buy and what we damage? Would we change the way we see factories? Would factories make living things or destroy them? I’d like for them to create but I figure they would destroy the living portions of these items. It seems more logical that factories take away the sentience of inanimate objects. Why else do humans instinctively talk to these objects when we are programmed to search for eyes? This project is meant to seem somewhat cute but shows a seemingly aware machine taking away the eyes of the boxes that go through it. Eventually, two of the boxes fled, but most get stuck on this loop forever. These objects are living, but not human they do not move as you might expect. This project was modeled and animated in Maya. After Maya, I took it into Premier to add sound. The sounds aren’t mine they are from bmccoy2 and PatrickLieberkind on freesound.
