Synopsis:

Ricky the Robot is the story of UH student Hank West and his quest to create a superstar from nothing but some cardboard boxes, some aluminum foil, and a rumor.

Comments:

Everything that happened in this video is real. None of it was staged.

Thoughts:

This has been one of my biggest projects to date. It was shot over the course of two and a half months and I edited it in my free time over the course of about three months. It was a challenge for me to take five hours of footage, and bring it down to under half an hour, all the while maintaining the storyline and trying to keep it funny.
