IRON CITY PIPE MAZE

During the pre-production phase of ALITA, I had the opportunity to explore a few of Iron City's suspended pipe mazes. The image above showcases Alita's escape from the MotorBall Stadiu. The world of Iron City was an interesting creative crash between cyber-tech and Havana architectural features which allowed for rich material breakups and complexe color palettes.

Towards the end of the production, the need for aditional Motoroball characters came up. Skaramasakus, a character already established in the Manga made its way in.
