As with every job, we look at each project as an opportunity to pursue new creative techniques and methods. Wacko Bros - a show dedicated to experimentation and debunking common scientific myths - offered us a platform to emulate the show hosts’ exploration in our own treatment of the world. We sought to execute this job as practically as possible, shooting this beautiful fantasy world almost entirely in-camera. The airship, our key design element, served as the perfect metaphor for the exploration and invention seen in the show, as well as, in creating opportunities to highlight each host’s diverse personality.
