ANNECY, France — Thursday morning saw Netflix host an Annecy Works in Progress session for its upcoming first Japanese Netflix Original anime “Eden,” when members of the film’s production team shared concept art, story boards and animation techniques before screening a lengthy trailer.
“I was right out of school at the time and I had this idea, but put it on the shelf,” Leach said on Tuesday. “I got some experience in production and finally I was able to pitch this idea to Netflix, who were looking, and this is what they selected.” “I made a mistake in reading the script, so when they asked me to make a robot city I made this big cube as the city,” he admitted, showing early-stage artwork of the massive, completely reflective cube covered in greenery and surrounded by water. “That wasn’t what they asked, but I did it. It felt more original.”A major theme in the film is the balance between the high-tech robot characters and the natural world around them, which they go to great pains to protect.
The session concluded with a screening of the series’ finished trailer, loaded with original music and scenes from the series, many of which were demoed in earlier stages of production only minutes before.
