Nitpicking, but what robots? All I saw were human-operated camera dollies.

The “ATV” logo and fanfare really took me right back to my youth.

I’m pretty certain that the “industrial robots” are regular TV cameras of the period, on dollies.

What struck me as really weird is that some of the footage appeared to come from “Old Time Music Hall.”

Daft Punk needs to sue these people, like, immediately.

I imagine this is what Pilobolus was like before they knew what they were doing.

Does anyone know the choreographer? It looks like Merce Cunningham maybe?
