Title: Newtype
Length: 5-7 minutes

Objective: The objective of this animated short is to give a glimpse into what humans can accomplish but still relate that to how we ultimately result in conflicts through human nature. The main character is an exception to this proving that we can evolve and develop just as our technology does.

The first scene is a montage of the technology that has been built and the particles that allow humans to now effortlessly explore the universe and power their space settlements and high powered construction robots that are now being piloted for war.

We now move to a space settlement which has been found out to contain a secret military lab developing robots for war. One of the sides has decided to snuff out the lab and wreaks havoc on the settlement.

Our main character is desperately looking for safety in an escape ship, all while robots are fighting and searching for the secret lab. In his frantic search for the nearest way of escape he stumbles upon the newly unearthed lab. A new special robot is unveiled. With no other seemingly way of escaping our main character goes into the robot for refuge which in turn activates and powers on when our hero enters the robot.

An intense battle ensues where the young man must defeat two enemy robots. He desperately fights but somehow he knows how to use the robot instinctively. He ultimately defeats the robot saving the settlement from the attack.

The young man decides to escape off in a military ship meeting numerous soldiers that admired his fighting prowess. We can still see in his face that he is unsure which side is just, but fighting seems like the only way now to reach understanding.
