How ‘The Mitchells vs the Machines’ Production Designer Lindsey Olivares Found A Film Student’s Perspective With “Katie Vision”
For Netflix’s The Mitchells vs. the Machines, produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the idea of “Katie Vision” was bounced around for a bit, until production designer Lindsey Olivares got her hands on one of their animation tests. Director Mike Rianda said, “One weekend without telling anyone, she just stole some animation and drew on the screen and made it just with the crappy Photoshop she had on her computer. It was so exciting to see basically the super-expensive animated movie that some teenager had graffitied all over.”
