The animated film ‘Mr. Robot’, which will be released on April 4th, is gathering attention due to the meeting of the most talented production team in Korea.

‘Mr. Robot’ is an action blockbuster about a man who becomes a robot and a girl who has lost her family becoming the one and only special relationship they have.

In particular, it is the new work of director Lee Dae-hee, who directed ‘Padak Padak’ and ‘Zero Stress’, and 302 Planet, a production company that has participated in various 3D animation works at home and abroad, is participating in the co-production, raising expectations.

Director Lee Dae-hee proved his skills with his first feature-length film ‘Padak Padak’, receiving official invitations and awards from major film festivals. Since then, he has captivated all generations by presenting a new genre of hero films with ‘Zero Stress’, a story about a super dad fighting a giant monster.

In addition, 302 Planet has presented full 3D feature-length works such as ‘Pororo the Movie: Dinosaur Island Adventure’, ‘Dinosaurs of the Spotted Korean Peninsula 2: New Paradise’ through innovative technology, and as they participated in ‘Zero Stress’, they increased the perfection of this work with even more perfect teamwork.

In particular, ‘Mr. Robot’ is a full 3D original feature-length animation that utilizes the latest ‘Unreal Engine’ technique, and it will present high-quality robot action comparable to a live-action film, and it will present an unprecedented scale with intense visuals never seen before. Regarding this, Director Lee Dae-hee said, “Unlike existing 3D animations, we tried to express realistic camera work like a live-action film. “We were able to complete the unique visuals by utilizing the ‘Unreal Engine’ technology, which allows us to render 3D images in real time like a game, which requires a lot of equipment and takes a lot of time,” he said, raising expectations.

In addition, in order to produce heavy action scenes like the live-action films ‘John Wick’ and ‘Joker’, he explained the directing details, saying, “We used dark lighting to express contrasting atmospheres and images for each character and developed the story.”

In addition, the best talented production team in Korea has joined forces to provide a variety of experiences from thrilling action to warm emotions, and representative voice actors in Korea, including Park Sung-young, Kim Yeon-woo, Lee Ho-san, and Ahn Young-mi, will participate in the voice acting to deliver a high level of immersion.
