Robotic 'Stop Motion' Chase Scene
Stretching time.

Construct a limited theatrical cast of large roughly humanoid robots capable of very slow movement. Program the robots to perform what would be a ten-minute scene at human speeds. Get the robots to perform it in a public place at 1/60 speed. Dawn and dusk frame the piece. Spectators become mere blips in the background.

Show the resulting film as a 10 minute short.

______

[Aside: the 'stage' would probably have to be pre-drilled with holes and the feet of the 'actors' fitted with retractable spikes to allow the to walk at 1/60 speed without overbalancing.]

       This has already been done with Keanu Reeves's face. I have watched several movies in which he has gone through only one facial expression.

       It's also been done with people, rather than robots, for music videos. And there is that gorgeous ad of multicolor rabbits bounding through Times Square, etc.

       But that was traditional stop motion animation, not robots. But yeah, I guess the effect is the same. (IMHO, it works for cars, but with people, it's just irritating.)
