“Love, Death & Robots”: “Ice”

With “Pop Squad,” Nelson got to lớn embrace darker subject matter than her usual family fare, riffing on “Blade Runner” & “Metropolis” for her retro-future visual style. “When I first started on Season 2, Tim sent me this gigantic pile of stories lớn read và the one that stuck out for me was ‘Pop Squad’ because it posed such a bizarre question about living forever,” she said. “And if you take that to lớn its end conclusion, what does it mean to lớn society?”

Nelson believed it could only be tackled in animation because you can’t put children in jeopardy & animation allows you lớn step back with emotional immediacy. “I wanted to do a bizarre noir image of what the future would look like if people lived for hundreds of years,” she said. “So, for me, it was a great chance to vày an adult story & an opportunity lớn take that visual lushness that’s definitely not for kids.”

“Life Hutch,” animated by Miller’s Blur Studio, offered the most experimental technique by combining Jordan’s actual face with a CG body and a digi-double for the fight scenes, with everything else animated as well.

“This was a case of how far we could push animation & blurs the line of what you’re seeing,” Nelson said. “But also there’s a humanism that comes through with a great actor like Michael B & immersing the viewer in a survival situation as if it were a complete live-action production. Animation is as immersive or more so than any other technique.”

Finally, “The Drowned Giant” allowed Miller to lớn achieve his lifelong dream of directing one of his favorite stories while tackling a quieter, gentler tone with Blur Studio. “Tim found this in his dad’s bookcase & he did a drawing of that story when he was in high school,” Nelson said. “He had to lớn beg the Ballard estate for permission to make the short. But it was really something special for him. It was lượt thích a tone poem. You don’t ever explain where the giant came from, or any backstory, & everyone behaves in a very peculiar way. & the animators knew it was important & they came through.”

“Love, Death & Robots” is available to stream on Netflix.
