Apropos yet ahead of it's time from GYWO

Voltron should count as a unicorn chaser, isn't one of his sub-robots a unicorn?

This reminds me of another video in the robot-art-object time lapse category: Michael Salter installing one of his gigantic Styrofoam robots.

What was the background music score?

Beautiful. I loved seeing the construction of the background patterns before they got overpainted in blue, and the close-up detail shots near the end.

Damnit, I wanted to hear some Voltron music with that.

That heavy sigh right at the beginning of the film, when the canvas is still blank? As a pointillist who sometimes spends up to a year on a big canvas, man can I ever relate. Reminds me that I gotta quit foolin' around on the computer and get back to work...

If I had 11' ceilings in my pad I'd be buying this NOW. Maybe I ought to finally bite the bullet and open the Church of Voltron that I've been holding services for inside my skull's tabernacle for the past 24 years.
