Shaun, everyone’s favorite sheep, is back, and this time he’s facing aliens and robots in “Directors Will Becher and Richard Phelan teamed together on this film for their first full-length collaboration. While the two have been working at Aardman Studios, Phelan’s background was as a story artist and Becher’s background was in animation. Producers saw the two as a perfect fit since they both had desires to direct.
When it came to brainstorming ideas, Phelan said, “We had fun with all the sci-fi tropes: Robots, secret government organizations and aliens coming to the farm. We looked at everything from the ‘50s through to modern sci-fi. It was great to go back and just watch all the films.” By going down the alien invasion route, it allowed for the pair to immerse themselves in the world of sci-fi.
Since the goal for the sequel was to go bigger and explore a genre that hadn’t been done before, they also explored the color palette. Aurélien Predal did the concept art, which Becher said “was a helpful starting point so we could see where we could take it.” While the farm and the crops had a warm autumn feel to them, Phelan said they also looked at bio-luminescent fish as inspiration for the colors. Production designer Matt Perry played with a lot of colors and painted the set in UV paint. “
