Some references for the town street concept included American suburban type housing, with a bright and colourful aesthetic similar to that of Edward Scissorhands.

References for elevator concept.

References for the laboratory scene. The style and aesthetic that came to mind was a sort of retro style of technology with a 1950s era, mixed with Frankenstein/Dr Strangelove overtones.







Notice the use of lighting in Dr Strangelove (1964), with the overarching map and led blips creating a very dramatic effect.
