"Doppelgänger" automaton by Tom Haney depicts an amusing and awkward scene

Here is a brand new motorized automaton by artist Tom Haney. The subtle motions are perfect for this amusing and somewhat awkward situation. The slow, deliberate timing invoked by the cams in the mechanism below the piece create the perfect effect. As with other videos by the artist, there are wonderful "in progress" shots which include details about the construction of the figures and video of the exposed mechanism in action.

You can see more about this an other automata on Tom Haney's web site.
