A Gentleman's Duel 2006
A short 3d animated film written and directed by Sean McNally, and Francisco Ruiz Velasco.

Produced by Blur studio who's extensive list of credits including special effects in the movies, Avatar, The mask 3d, and the Southpark, Bigger Longer, Uncut as well the video games Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Sonic the hedgehog.

Francisco Ruiz Velasco worked as a conceptual designer on Hellboy II: The golden army and is currently working on the upcoming film The Hobit: Part 1. But when he made this film he used an alternate name dropping the Velasco as noted on this IMDB webpage

Sean McNally has been a concept artist for the James Cameron film Aliens of the Deep and other Blur Studios shorts In the Rough, and Rockfish.

In a gentelmans duel a 19th century tea party for two gets complicated when another man crashes the date. Comedy ensues as tension rises over the affections of the lady of the house. Then the gentlemen duel in giant steam powered robots. They nearly kill the lady as they go about destroying her garden with the steampunk styled robots belching large clouds as they battle. A Gentleman's Duel is probably not for children due to sexual humor and suggestive scenes.
