The third volume of Love, Death & Robots It might have been a little less jittery and jumbled than some of the previous seasons, but it certainly wasn’t lacking in visual splendor. In an exclusive clip, director Emily Dean breaks down the making of one of the most visually stunning shorts of the batch. In The Very Pulse of the Machine, a lone female astronaut wanders the surface of one of Jupiter’s moons, dragging the body of her fallen teammate with her, and begins to question the nature of reality as she knows it. The world is shifting and changing around them.
Like most others Love, Death & Robots Shorts, The Very Pulse of the Machine is based on a short story. Dean talks about how she used the descriptions in the text – in this case the pillars appear to morph into dancing women – to create the vivid images inspired by a French artist moebius. She also filmed herself dragging a sled across the beach and falling onto a mattress to give the entertainers some specific moving cues.
All three seasons of Love, Death & Robots are available to stream on Netflix. Check out our breakdowns of just how much love, death and robots are in each case if you were thinking of sitting down with your parents and watching them (seasons 2 and 3 might be safer bets).
