THE HERO SHOT
Simon survey's his domain.
-
SPACE ELEVATOR CRAWLER
Brutalist was our goal for the Space Elevator designs. With the elevator, we wanted a shape that didn't require explanation - it was a platform that carried cargo to space. Its scientifically unrealistic but it needed to feel believable on screen.
-
CLARKE'S TOWN FRINGE
We wanted to get a feel for the emotional impact of Simon and Adam being surrounded by the shipping containers.

BASE STATION WALL
Will Simon rise to the occasion? (This shot sadly never made it into the movie in this form)
-
FALLING CONTAINER
How would a falling shipping container be dropped?
-
SPACE ELEVATOR BASE STATION
Brutalist was our goal for the Space Elevator designs. We wanted something that felt ageless. We also needed it to work in silhouette.

ADAM CARTER
Layered look for Adam. We dropped the hat (for obvious reasons) and went for an oversized jacket, but the base design remained the same.
-
DAVE and SIMON CARTER
We ended up using ill fitting jackets as well, but basic "rags and layered" look remained.
-
OFFICER KATE HENSHAW
Initial designs for Kate's uniform. We ended up doing another revision to move away from the SS look into something more broad.
-
OFFICER KATE HENSHAW (round 2)
Revised military uniform, with her undergarment showing a softer side. It was cut ragged, but otherwise elegant.
-
COMFORT WOMAN and KATE
We wanted to link the Comfort Woman with Kate via the use of material and some basic styling. The idea of course being that Kate may have been a Comfort Woman in the past and she is fighting hard to avoid that fate again.
-
CTA GUARDS
Initial guard sketches. Sadly, we had to drop the high collar (which was to be a consistent design theme).
-
CLARKE'S TOWN SUIT
Two slightly different versions for the CTA suit. We wanted something with a degree of elegance to it, so he would 'read' clearly as the boss man. We went for oriental cues in the jacket to allude to the possible power-structure in CTA.
