Before the film is officially filmed, the art department led by McDowell must first complete the sketches of all the scenes and plot series boards. After being approved by the chief creators, all the drawings will be sent to Pixel Liberation Front, which will produce The three-dimensional preview images of all scenes in the film have saved millions of dollars in production costs.
Spielberg believed that the film was a noir film from the beginning. Kaminsky and Spielberg tried their best to use images to embody Anderson’s dark journey of emotion and psychology. In order to create this effect, Cummings Kei decided to start with the light and tried every means to reduce the saturation of the color of the picture.
There was a hunting scene in an alley in the film. In addition to chasing soldiers behind him, Anderson also tried to get rid of the policemen who were wearing flying clothing and besieging him in the sky. In order to allow the audience to see unprecedented solo flight scenes, the film stunt coordinator Brian Smoz and art director McDowell created a sling. On the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, the art department and construction workers set up a 400-foot-long and 55-foot-high alley scene while erecting a peripheral frame with slings 30 feet above the scene.
Another exquisite action scene in the film appears in the car factory that produces the future Lexus car. The location selected for the film was originally an arsenal, which was later turned into an aluminum factory, which specializes in aluminum smelting and polishing. Since the roof of the factory is covered with skylights, natural light is the best choice for this scene.
Since Anderson is going to fight Danny on the car production line, the production workshop on the shooting site must be complete and detailed. To this end, McDowell had to design the production process of future cars. He said: "The first thing we thought of was that cars at that time should no longer be made of metal, but should use light-curing molding materials. Through laser curing, you can create a highly rigid resin body. So we have a Equipped with a water tank with 5 lasers, the lasers will quickly draw outlines on the surface of the liquid, and the car body will immediately be in front of your eyes. "The formed car body will be taken over by a fully automated robotic assembly line, most of which are provided by Kawasaki. Spielberg liked the robotic arms on the assembly line so much that he used one of them as a camera boom.
