No-A Protective Machine Gorilla
A Protective Machine Gorilla
The short film NO-A is a futuristic film about a gorilla-like machine trying to protect its creator from harm.
NO-A was directed by a team of 8 students from Savannah College of Art and Design as a graduation project. The film won the 2015 Red Dot Award.
The film begins with NO-A entering what looks to be a control room in a huge space looking building. The machine walks on all fours and rocks back and forth as if he is a primate. His creator must have built him in the image of apes. He looks out of a window and from his vantage point he can see a person with a gun heading towards a girl in a protected pod, who is his creator. Behind NO-A an armed person walks up and starts shooting at him and the action begins. The bullets don’t seem to have an effect on the machine but now that he knows people are after him and his creator he bounds away and throws himself out of a window. …show more content…
Part of the wiring that kept him together gets shot off and he falls down letting his creator tumble out of his hands. She slowly wakes up once she is thrown on the ground and takes in the situation around her. Her trusted machine is injured possibly beyond repair and in the distance, she can see others trying to make their way towards her.
It is strange that the audience has no idea why there are people hunting this girl and her machine. Since it is told from the point of the view of NO-A we automatically see them as the good guy but in reality, those people could be hunting them down for a good reason.
NO-A gathers his bearings and sees the ship of hunters landing to kill them. He hurries his creator to an elevator where he valiantly lets her go and escape to safety while he stays back and fights to the death to protect her. She cries while she watches him leave. Then it ends with showing a montage of the woman working on designing and creating
