Men At Work Music Promotion

promotional, marketing, package design

A mock marketing giveaway for the Australian rock band Men At Work. A three-dimensional paper model automaton, with operational arm and leg components, promotes the band's "Helpless Automaton" music single by directing users to download the song online. The robot can be made to march in place with sign in hand.

* How does this guy move?  The interior of the box stand holds a cam and penny weights attached to the legs. When the shaft is rotated, the cam pushes one penny weight up as the other falls down (that moves the legs). The leg hits a shaft for the opposite arm when it is raised, which causes the arm to move forward, and back again when the leg is lowered. Voila.
