Meet Walter - 10th March - New Viral

[Corporal Hicks]

I dug it. Nice little piece. Was surprised to see AMD wasn't marketed in it (or was that chip supposed to be their brand?)

The website's not up yet. Really curious to see what's on that!

Now it's up! https://meetwalter.com/

Processor is by AMD... you can see their logo on it.

[Corporal Hicks]

Duh. Was expecting to see the words AMD on it. I didn't recognize the box. 

Anyone else have trouble reserving a Walter?

[CainsSon]

Pretty cool. Quite reminiscent of HBO's Westworld but at the same
time very much different. The whole scene of Walter's creation looks
like some kind of ritual.

Again Luke Scott.

Walter is the world's most advanced synthetic companion, designed to help you achieve a better human experience. Each model is individually calibrated to serve its owner's unique set of needs and preferences.

Conceived by Ridley Scott and 3AM, directed by Luke Scott, and produced by RSA Films.

Agree about WESTWORLD, but to be fair, its more like WESTWORLD owes a great deal more to Ridley Scott than the other way around.

Reserved my Walter!

Oh man this keeps getting better, and better... Now just have to wait for tonight's SXSW footage to go live, and then it's cake and ice cream.

TRUE.

Really cool video. A sneak peek into how David's head is reattached!

Is the SXSW footage due to go live?

Hicks said that it's not closed door press event so it may find it's way on the net.

Not officially, I don't think. I know someone is who is going so we should get a description.

[RidgeTop]

That's some pretty high level of product placement. Cool little short, but the concept of "take home your android" is pretty foreign to the franchise. I always figured they were only privately tasked for the company and military.

Excellent. Do we have an idea of timings?
