About the project:
THE CASTORP SYNDROME science fiction TV show.
Located in a near future, where humankind is starting to spread through and colonize the solar system in ring-shaped colonial spaceships, a small group of young pilgrims are fleeing from the pursuit of some mercenaries who infected them with a lethal synthetic virus.
The main references in this project were other sci-fi shows that are near to a realistic side of the genre in their designs like “Alien” (1979), “Battlestar Galactica” (2004-2009), “Firefly” (2002), “2001″ (1968), “Solaris” (1972), “Moon” (2009) and “Star Trek, the motion picture” (1979).
In that way, we finally opted for a fully functional semi industrial look, where almost all elements should look like prefabricated serial components, avoiding over stylized designs so frequent in sci-fi genre shows. The external ship shapes and sizes are designed in the very same way, using realistic measures and following to physical logics.
