"The collaboration between director Kali Bailey and Backhaul Studios has led to the creation of Newt, a practical companion robot designed for authentic on-set interactions."
"DeWitt's meticulous approach involved not just the 3D modeling of Newt but also the hands-on process of printing and crafting components to achieve a vivid, movie-quality appearance."
The article discusses the creation of Newt, a companion robot designed by YouTuber Davis Dewitt for the film The Lightning Code, set for release in May 2025. Unlike CGI creations, Newt is a tangible robot intended for genuine interactions during filming. Director Kali Bailey wanted the sidekick robot to be a real presence rather than a digital creation. Dewitt details his meticulous building process, from CAD modeling to the hands-on crafting of parts, ensuring the robot looks authentic on screen, using painting and weathering techniques for realism.
