Visual effects supervisor Eric Pascarelli, in conjunction with Jellyfish Pictures, spent months developing the Legislators anatomy, mobile artillery machines (walkers), mothership, prison transports and alien drones. The VFX teams worked closely with Rupert to ensure his very distinct vision was realized. It was crucial to explore the backstory and mythology of the film's antagonists. Although never explicitly revealed in the film, the Legislators are a mining species, more comfortable living in extreme conditions underground. The designs all drew from this and used the forms and textures of volcanic rock, which enabled Jellyfish Pictures' Art Department, led by creative director Tom Brass, to develop a distinct design language for the aliens, drones and ships. The look was to be grounded and realistic, but also unusual, uncanny and unsettling. Everything in keeping with the aesthetic mantra 'dirty sci-fi.' Aaron Sims Creative and KNB Special Effects worked cohesively on the Hunter concepts, special effects makeup and suits. Meet the Oppressors By far, the biggest challenge facing the Art Department was the Closed Zone Transition Area. A secret underground access point for the human collaborators to interact with the Legislators. Dawn Brown Manser, an Art Department "Jane- of-all-trades," was brought on to design this set. Under an unreasonable time crunch, Dawn managed to conceptualize, design and detail the gantry, tower and pod. The design of the structure was inspired by aerospace engineering and functional aesthetics from the 1960s Space Race era. A design decision in keeping with the "present stuck in the past" concept.
