WANDERING EARTH - AI Robot

What if Earth itself was the spaceship to save humanity?
---
The Space Station needed a camera following everybody around and eventually be the main antagonist of the astronauts of the space station. A little bit like HAL2000, but mobile, so I did some passes at the design. The director wanted something that felt like a Chinese lantern, so this was the original guideline.

Eventually ending up with 2 versions, a more sleek sphere and a rough boxy version.
And then it changed again because of lack of time and budget, the prop was made with things salvaged from other sets ;)
