World's most Realistic Robots Dream of electric sheep.

And these days, you can just use CGI. Sigh.

YT: Behind the scenes footage I took in 1993 & 94 of the making of our electric sheep for the movie "Babe".
11 electric sheep were made jointly by 2 separate companies.
Robotechnology and John Cox's creature workshop.
With my partners Chris Chitty and Matt Ward, my company Robotechnology designed and created all the internal animatronics.
Our colleague John Cox and his crew created the cosmetic exteriors.
The sheep were sculpted by Belinda Villani who also sculpted cows and horses etc for digital scanning for Rythmn and Hues' digital animation efforts.
John Cox and John Searle, Jason Baird and Paul Katte worked on the sheep rubber skins and fibreglass cores and my wife Christine Nagy made the Fleeces with Wayne Nelson. The faces were flocked with nylon.
