Attached Link: My movie and more

 There were a few articles on the subject, but that was long ago. You might be able to dredge them up if you do a google search.

The short was animated in Poser 4 - which at the time was the most current. There were no scripts and no mocap. I tend to shy away from the term "pose to pose" because I think it gives the wrong impression and Poser's animation tools have long been underestimated. 

Everything was done essentially by hand. The animations were tightly control with splines, but it was not so far off from how one might do a stop motion animation.

The most difficult part was a scene where the robots climb each other. The characters, each using inverse kinematics, had to have their hands and feet parented to whoever they were climbing. This could only be done once, so the bottom most character had to be pre-animated, reacting to being stepped on, etc and then that animation had to be "burned" and locked. Then the next character could have its hands and feet parented so that the climbing motions would align and look natural.

If you do get the movie on iTunes, this will probably make a bit more sense, though hopefully you would never be aware of it.
