More little background items for The Mitchells vs. The Machines. Some ideas for things laying around Katie’s room. This was my first assignment on my first day—started off easy on some cups and books to clue me in on the style. Our production designer, Lindsey Olivares, pushed me to go looser and less polished to give the 3D artists room to interpret. A note that I still think about today. Lots of references here.
Where the transformed Pal Labs meets the human world in The Mitchells vs The Machines movie. I pitched around 60 ideas for this area, so here’s a few to show how the design began to take shape over the course of the week. Also that’s the Mitchell family in their Pal robot disguises down there!

I spent a about an hour this weekend rummaging through my hard drive to find all the props I did for The Mitchell’s vs The Machine… and I Found a Lot! Here is the first batch. Most of these are from an early camp site set that I designed which got fully built out in 3d as our first test environment but never made it into the film due to story changes. This was like, within my first 2 or 3 months on the movie. The last image is the fully 3 version of the cut campsite set. More props to come
unsurprisingly Kellan’s work brings me so much joy
Another Prop dump from the Mitchell’s vs the Machines , this time for the cabin set I designed. At one point this set was a little more prominently featured in the film so I built out more props for it then ended up being necessary. Rick Mitchell built this cabin himself and used to be a chainsaw art artist, hence all the north woods aesthetic animals. I think I’m most happy with that steel guitar which belongs to Linda. The Door design is a reference to the door that was on my old house back in Dallas.

Realized I hadn’t posted any of the visual Development work I did for the Mitchells vs the Machines here on Tumblr. so here is the first batch! I primarily worked on environments and effects design as well as some color keys and story moment paintings. Had a blast working on this movie. It was my first film I got to work on. Truly a special project. The Blu-ray just dropped for any of you who are interested!! Hope you enjoy these, Ill post more in a few days or so.
