Assassin - NanoBot

In 2021 we had the opportunity to work with director Jesse Atlas to develop a minuscule robot for the movie 'Assassin' (2023). 'Assassin' is based on Atlas' sci-fi thriller short film 'Let Them Die Like Lovers' about a body hopping soldier.

This tiny device - the size of a grain of sand - would burrow into a victim's skin, embed itself in their brain, and hijack their mind.
Senior Concept Designer Thomas Oates explored unique methods of locomotion to create interesting animation opportunities, along with the various ways in which the robot could burrow into its prey.
