Wow, I can't explaim in normal words how awesome was that!
That was incredible. I really wish there were more filmmakers with your drive to not only make videos in original universes, but to do a damn fine job with it.
Really nice. I really liked the concept.
Some broken english in the conversation between the two and a couple of weird animations. Like the salute on the beard guy.
Otherwise really nice, also yay, someone used a hack I made.
EDIT
Also not a huge fan of the music at the start. Something slightly softer maybe?
Oh man, I'm always excited for a new Norpo production! As usual you failed to disappoint! Great stuff, could watch many more episodes of this, if only you had the time/resources.
I like it. I might be a bit biased, but I love the use of non-tf2 resources.
Some of the mocap was a little obvious though, and I think at this point you should consider getting a few volunteer voice actors. Given the overall quality of your work, I'm sure you could get a few people that want to be involved in a solid machinima project.

Gotta agree there. The quality of your work would sure attract some Voice Actors.
What sets this movie apart from most is the life in it. There is movement and motion in almost all of it.
As far as voice acting goes, my advice is to write your movie as a pure visual film if you aren't going to work with voice actors. Using this movie as an example, write it so that the two of them meet in that place and only exchange the flower. No talking, then the 'action' happens. The audience can fill in whatever back story they want about these two characters. Knowing that one created the other and so on really isn't necessary to enjoy this movie. We can see that one character is 'different' and can fifgure out that's why they are being chased. When you include written dialogue you draw attention to the fact you don't have actors playing the roles.
That is some amazing work! The idea, cinematography, after-effects and of course the animations are superb. Besides, I always love to see original content rather than straight up fan-fiction.
To give constructive criticism: The thing that bothered me the most apart from a few weak sound effects was the use of extensive dialogue. I don't think it needed that much context at all. The robot with its' rose, the reacting face of her creator and all that is there would have really been enough to bring the story across. This specific film never needed dialogue imo (written OR spoken).
In the end though, it still remains as one of the best SFM shortfilms I have seen so far.
Everything except the animations themselves were top-notch. The mocap got kind of obvious and some of the general non-mocapped animations felt very floaty.
Keep workin tho!
