Concept art: the Oude Kerk dome

by - 2012/03/01 22 Comments Artwork, Production

Just outside the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam is a small bridge where the key break-up scene happened in the past. Scientists have been constructing a gigantic dome and a lot of equipment around it to ensure they can reconstruct the past there perfectly… or is it a time machine? Image by David Revoy!

(Concept art is 6 days old, things are evolving into exciting directions, involving robots – for sure! Stay tuned!)

  1. It looks pretty good, I’m eager to know the evolution which will take.

    Wow this stuff is really cool. I’m lovin’ the updates. Keep them coming please!!! I check in like 5 times a day! Are you guys planning on releasing the script sometime soon?

      When the team is here next week we’ll discuss how open we make it this time. The script itself (dialogs, shots breakdown etc) probably not. The full story (scenes, characters, events) probably yes.

        Please give a warning when you’ll post the full story so who doesn’t want to know it won’t read it. :)

    Would be fun if the fictional machine interfaces could be designed to be reminiscent of the Blender interface…i hate easter eggs, but that would really pull a smile out of me..

    • Peter Houlihan says:

      +1 For this, a nice subtle wink to blender would be nice. Maybe a couple of neon blend signs in the background?

    Nooooo please don’t give away the story!!!

    (Awesome concepts btw)

    Don’t spoil it too much Ton! We’re buying a short movie at the end, not just the production behind the scene :)

    Let me cast my vote for NO story spoilers!! I love the way Sintel did it, by releasing the first minute or so, followed by some great teaser trailers. I’m all for trickling info and visuals out throughout development, but save the story for the release! It IS a film, after all. :)

    Well… the image title is “time-travel_dom-on”…
