Well the period, Hollywood of the 50s, 60s and The Scent of Mystery, all the paraphernalia was all wonderfully of that period and so I thought well I have to weave a flavour of that in. You’ve got to work with a concept. It’s not about getting on the computer and seeing what you can do, you’ve got to start with an idea, with a script. You’ve got to break that down and understand, through talking to the producer and director, what their intentions are and try to embellish and help tell the story. There are so many aspects of stories that you can’t just wallpaper with endless vision. There are abstract ideas or emotions that need to be conveyed.
The other key visual element were Nadia’s wonderful character animations of Hans. He just seemed to step right out of the 1960s program – a fabulous counterpoint to Carmen’s telling of her father’s single minded entrepreneurial drive!
