A stylish 4th Millenium
An
extensive visual development phase preceded the production
of the film. Early on, a team of illustrators, concept artists
and designers was assembled. Their mission: to imagine a "CG-friendly" futuristic world as the suitable setting for a revisited classic
tale.
Under
the supervision of Art Director Nicolas Lebessis, the creative
crew developed a style influenced by European
fantastic art and Anime to achieve a funny, improbable, retro-looking
depiction of a 4th millenium universe. The complete antithesis
of the usual cold, impersonal, high-tech production designs
for science-fiction
films.
The
Paris based studio Okidoki was responsible for set designs,
while the characters were created by Jean-Baptiste Andreae
and Marcos Testamarck.
