The "I'm Thinking" and "Laura"Automata.
Is was surfing Amazon Prime videos looking for something to watch and I came across a whole series of animated video shorts. Many bear awards from international film festivals. There are many unusual and interesting ones.
One depicted a young boy in school. For a moment there is an animated sequence of imaginary gears spinning in his head as he thinks. I knew right away that I would have to attempt something like this.
The prototype was called "I'm Thinking", and the second slightly improved project was titled "Laura". Here are videos and photos of the projects.t

The challenging dynamic of this project is the number of small gears that operate inside the brain cavity while the automata handle is being turned. Here are some photographs of various components during the stages of construction.
