Emily chose white PVC, a colour and texture that reflected the ubiquitous colour scheme of the movie -- from interior décor of the space station to uniforms and even the glossy white exterior of the space-pods. The slim lines of a curve-hugging cat suit captured the sleek look of the spear-shaped Orion transport, pictured on the original posters.
To enhance the effect, artist Camesha Ross, of Palettes Makeup Art, employed a silvery sheen around the eyes of model Liane. The metallic properties of the makeup conveyed a sense of machinery -- very much in keeping with the man-versus-machine theme in the film.
For a backdrop, we wanted something bright but cold and austere. As luck would have it, we were invited to shoot in the sparkling, glass-and-steel environs of a yet-to-be-opened building. The geometric lines were extremely well defined, and provided a perfect monolith-like backdrop.
