Making Taro Talk: A Documentary

Directed by TEA at UCSD

Countless wires and cardboard. Zero time. One toucan.

A group of undergraduate students at UC San Diego learn the difficulties of creating an audio animatronic. Faced with budget and time constraints, these students embark on a journey filled with comedic moments, setbacks, and betrayal to get their animatronic named “Taro” to talk.
