Walter Robot

Walter Robot is a creative studio founded by artist Bill Barminski and director Christopher Louie. They work in multiple mediums including film, television, art and sculpture. Their film work has screened at several film festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival and the Los Angeles Film Festival where in 2012 the festival hosted a retrospective of their work. Their artwork has been showcased in several installations and galleries in Los Angeles, New York and London. In 2014, to much critical success, they worked with the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra and staged the first ever interactive animated version of The Cunning Little Vixen opera.

Walter Robot began as a robot they built to star in a music video for the Modest Mouse's "Missed the Boat" green screen competition. Walter Robot won the competition and went on to direct music videos for several notable artists including Kid Cudi, Gnarls Barkley,Vitalic, Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 and Death Cab for Cutie. In addition to their music videos they have worked with commercial clients ranging from Nokia, Play-Doh, MTV, Wendy's, Lexus and American Express.

Their video "Grapevine Fires" for Death Cab for Cutie was accepted into the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival where it won Audience Award for Best Music Video. Shortly after the success of the "Grapevine Fires" video they teamed again with Death Cab for Cutie for their song "Meet Me on the Equinox" which was the premiere single for The Twilight Saga: New Moon (soundtrack). In 2012 they also directed the video for Death Cab for Cutie's "Underneath the Sycamore" (which included a clip of the "Grapevine Fires" video within this video).
