He wanted these lines flowing down. 323 00:17:32,326 --> 00:17:35,955 {\an8}And although we had that, they had to be broken up to allow for more movement. 324 00:17:38,874 --> 00:17:44,088 Starting out, they brought the costume completely into the trailer. 325 00:17:45,047 --> 00:17:47,383 And I did take a moment. 326 00:17:48,842 --> 00:17:52,554 And then once I put it on, I went, "Mmm, this is it." 327 00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:57,434 You know, like, there are very few moments in my life where you go, "This is it." 328 00:18:01,689 --> 00:18:03,649 There is a energy within the suit. 329 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,734 It makes you stand up straight. 330 00:18:05,901 --> 00:18:07,381 You know, that's just how it's built. 331 00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:11,907 There's mysticism about it, you know. It's iconic. 332 00:18:14,994 --> 00:18:17,079 {\an8}I think one of the hardest things in this film 333 00:18:17,162 --> 00:18:19,248 {\an8}from a design point of view was to find that balance 334 00:18:19,331 --> 00:18:21,875 of a certain amount of familiarity about things, 335 00:18:21,959 --> 00:18:24,920 but not be exactly what you think it is. 336 00:18:25,045 --> 00:18:28,257 One of the things that I looked at quite early on were 337 00:18:28,382 --> 00:18:31,427 natural photography and electron microscopy 338 00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:33,554 and just trying to find colors and textures 339 00:18:33,637 --> 00:18:36,640 to help take it from it just being this sort of 340 00:18:36,724 --> 00:18:38,726 hard surface, technological world 341 00:18:38,809 --> 00:18:41,353 to having this slightly more organic feeling to it. 342 00:18:41,437 --> 00:18:43,731 And that's quite a tricky thing, to strike that balance. 343 00:18:44,314 --> 00:18:47,026 I just started with some initial sort of sketches, 344 00:18:47,109 --> 00:18:50,320 put together a bunch of reference boards and materials for Peyton, 345 00:18:50,404 --> 00:18:52,322 just to create the whole vibe of the world. 346 00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:54,616 Look up.
