Behind the Scenes with the Set Designers of “Isle of Dogs”

If you like seeing behind-the-scenes footage of environments and atmospheres being fabricated, here we have a real treat.

For the stop-motion animated “Isle of Dogs,” director Wes Anderson’s fairly insane demand that all sets (and even effects like smoke, fire, water) be created practically provided the production designers with a serious challenge.

A small army of craftspeople rose to the task.

There’s lots of great shots of people building the sets…

…though I do wish there were more shots of the concept art as well.

It’s super cool to see how faithfully they matched the sets to the original concept sketches.

I also wanted to see more photos of the shop environments…

…which are all too fleeting in this vid:

Have any of you actually seen the movie, by the way? And if so was it any good? (No spoilers please.) I know I could just read a review, but I want to know what the designers among you thought of it.
