Life Hutch, for example, starred Michael B. Jordan and the episode was directed by Alex Beaty. One of the most realistic chapters in the second season, Life Hutch told a story about a pilot who tried to survive after a crash landing. The animation showed the desperate struggle of a wounded pilot against a malfunctioning robot.

Seeing how this episode was created and brought to life makes the viewers appreciate the animators more. The video below introduces the directors and the creators of the chapter as they discuss the process of creating Life Hutch.

Director Alex Beaty said that they wanted to create a relatable story and show the desperate fight of the war pilot against a machine.

“We wanted it to be relatable, we did not want it to be based on a complex sci-fi universe. Instead, we wanted to show the agony of this man and what he is going through. The tension and the atmosphere were vital to us.”

Tim Miller, who serves as a creator of the Love, Death & Robots anthology series said that most of the story happened on the face of the man. He also added that they could have made everything through CG, but they preferred the actor’s performance. The animators put CG next to the live-action shot and this made the animation a type of hybrid.
