The Electric State has a great strength and it is already available in Simon Stålenhag’s book template

The Electric State has recently been available at Netflix and has so far been back on top place on the charts. But there is also a lot of criticism of the sci-fi blockbuster: too little heart, too little joke, too little sense is for some in the characters. Some can only find a good thing about the blockbuster: the robots. They look alive, but at the same time like the product of an authentic sci-fi world. The reason for this is a development that with the Book template Simon Stålenhags starts. The Electric State author Simon Stålenhags has created many of the robot design

Simon Stålenhags celebrated graphic novel The Electric State are already based on many of the robot designs that later appear so alive in the Netflix film. In the pictures that can be seen on X, among other things, the template of the cosmo robot (original voice: Alan Tudyk) in the streaming adaptation can be seen.

With the great template, however, it is not enough, as Matthew E. Butler proves, who worked for the Netflix film as a visual effects supervisor. According to Techcrunch interview, the goal was to give the impression that “that really work“could. The machines were extremely detailed for this. equipped with circuits, cables and engines, which give them a tangible, haptic technique.

Several methods interlocked: a motion capture actor provided the templates for the movements of the robot, for which the limits of machine technology later had to be adjusted. The intonation of the speakers was also decisive for the movements of the robots.

In the end, Stålenhag’s template and the zeal of the Visual Effects department fell perfectly into each other in order to create lively machines and thus a highlight of the Netflix film. For a possible second part, sci-fi fans will want the same type of fertile combination.
