I used Electric Image and we would use Poser to do pre-visualizations on a lot of the shots. And that's just the beginning. The film is studded with humorous and cleverly placed technological and pop cultural debris. Familiar Internet icons are integrated with playful abandon and loving nods are given to everything from Legos to Pac Man to Schlitz beer. Sound The Octobot bites from Qbert's songs are whimsically matched to ray-guns, space cycles and dental tools.
Sampled dialogue is uttered by shuttle captains sporting afros and sunglasses.
There were many ways to interpret the sounds and we rewrote the plot several times until, finally, it almost made sense. We also went back and forth with QBert several times refining and updating each other's work on the project. They give it cohesiveness. I think in general, all our individual styles hold together pretty seamlessly. We met after he saw a film I did called 'Wood Technology' at Res Fest 97.
