00:00When I saw that this was a Sony project, I immediately was thinking about the other Sony animated movies I love, like Spider-Verse and Mitchell's Versus Machines.
00:07Did those influence you guys in any way when you were making this movie?
00:12It's interesting. It was almost like we wanted to, what they both did so well was something new.
00:19And so part of it was like, we did some early exploration with like flash frames and graphic elements.
00:24And we're like, I don't know, this looks like Spider-Verse and it's not our movie.
00:28So it became a real, in a way they raised a bar, which is bring something fresh and new to the animation sphere.
00:37And so we were like, what is our thing?
00:39And we had to go to some of those anime, subtle anime influences, but K-dramas, like high level music videos, stuff like that, that we felt like, well, we haven't seen this in animation.
00:53Editorial photography, fashion.
00:55Yeah, and even Maggie really had a point of view about like how the women, the girls should be cool, but also like really silly and flawed and weird in a way that like, you know, K-dramas are really good at, but also just, that's Maggie.
01:10So I feel like you...
01:11I'm flawed.
01:12Yeah.
01:13So I feel like that stuff, we were like, this is it.
01:19We just have to, how do we make it special?
01:21How do we make it visually striking?
01:23And the nice thing was Sonya is such a deep, talented group of animators and lighters and everythingers that when we brought those influences to them, they're like, cool, dude, we love this stuff too.
01:34How exciting, we get to do this kind of thing.
01:36And also don't want to do the same thing twice.
01:39So they were already on the mind of like, we want to be innovative and show something different.
01:45So that was really great.
01:46Yeah.
