Yes, the text was inspired by those recipes, but its creator won't tell you what they are. (From 2019)
got picked apart, folks began to wonder where the movie's now-famous "digital rain" came from. The answer turned out to be far more fascinating than any of the film's mysteries. The code, asSimon Whiteley is a production designer at Animal Logic in Australia, but he's best known as The Man Behind the Code.
So Whiteley went home and began browsing through the "stacks of Japanese cookbooks" owned by his wife, looking for inspiration. One recipe book in particular caught his eye and the recipes therein served as the basis for what would eventually become the film's iconic falling code. Over the following weeks, Whiteley painstakingly designed and painted each Japanese letter by hand. These were then delivered to Justen Marshall, now an R&D supervisor at Animal Logic, who digitized them and wrote the code to make them cascade across the screen. Originally, Whiteley says, the letters were supposed to flow across the screen from left to right, but when he saw the animation he says it "wasn't evoking any emotion for me.
"The movie is very machine oriented. I love that idea that it's about something so mechanical, but amongst it the actual code is extracted from something so organic and free-flowing."Whiteley returned to the source. Like most Japanese texts, the recipe books were written "back to front" and sentences were read top to bottom. So Whiteley asked Marshall if he could flip the code so it flowed down from the top of the screen—and the rest is history.
"The movie is very machine oriented," Whiteley says. "I love that idea that it's about something so mechanical, but amongst it the actual code is extracted from something so organic and free-flowing."The Lego Ninjago Movie
