We begin shooting the Liberator in under two months. I've been working on the Production Design since late April. The process so far has been developing a look for the film and working closely with the director Edward Tom to achieve a single vision for the film.
The Liberator is set in a post apocalyptic world and follows a brain washed soldier Sarah who is captured by an enemy boy named Kane. It's through seeing Kane's innocence that Sarah learns compassion again in humanity.
THE LOOK
Unlike most post apocalyptic movies within the last decade Edward Tom the films director did not want a gritty dark world. Having been inspired by 1980’s action films he wanted to incorporate elements which made the era of film so iconic
such as saturated blue’s, smoke machines and leather, lots of leather. Think Escape from New York meets The Terminator with a modern daylight feel of District 9.
After speaking with Edward about the look and feel he wanted to achieve I placed upon myself to make an 80’s inspired post apocalyptic film without the cheesy.
I want to create a world that reflects how broken down society has become. The vulnerable landscape is flooded with rubble with remnants
of a nuclear disaster zone. Everything looks uninviting with the primary colours of rusty reds, dirty oranges, faded greens and muddy
browns filling the backdrop.
