The action takes place in an alien desert environment on planet that some may call third world planet. It looks a lot like the Grand Canyon with the same colour scheme, reddish-yellow, used and there are cliff edges and actual canyons in the film background. Within the canyons there are a lot of caves and obstacles such as massive pieces of cliff and general rubble.
The pods which Anakin and his opponents race across the terrain have a very rusty and dare I say steampunk look to them. But the rust and dust doesn't make them look any less cool since the two front engines are joined by what seems to be electrical lighting rope and the originality of the actual machines is incredible since it's like a Roman chariot with the only difference that it has some anti gravity thing instead of the wheels and the horses are substituted by two engines which look as if they came from a superjet. The pods also come in different shapes and sizes which makes them and their design even more unpredictable and interesting.
The cockpit of such a pod looks very complicated and they even bothered creating alien symbols to indicate that this isn't our universe at all. Then we have the tribunes. They look very dusty and not made for comfort since the people who came to see the pod race have to stand outside in the blazing sun with no shelter. Yet however they still seem to be filled to the brim with people who came to see the match. They all dress in the same quite dirty looking clothing which are either white or brown. The commentators cabin looks more like a bunker than what it was meant to be and we don't see much new sound transmitting tech in there. No we see a some basic screens and a very basic microphone.
We also see how dangerous this race is after the antagonists pod crashes and he was lucky to survive the crash.

ReplyDeleteVery sound work as you express yourself fluently and in great detail. I hope that you manage to write as much under exam conditions.
Looking for your prep on Serenity: sound and for your Short and Tweet.
