Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Emmy-nominated animated feature “Entergalactic” is set amid a vibrant New York City. Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi voices Jabari, a graffiti artist who has just moved into a new Manhattan apartment after being hired by a comic book company. He’s just broken up with his ex, Carmen (voiced by Laura Harrier), because he’s too busy to have a personal relationship until he meets his neighbor, Meadow (voiced by Jessica Williams).
In building Jabari’s world, production designer Rob Ruppel created a “blank canvas” for his loft since the character has just moved in. The walls are white, boxes still fill the room, and Jabari’s bike sits against a wall. However, as the story progresses, those boxes become fewer and the space stars to become more personal.
Ruppel’s key was how he used color. “You can’t have it everywhere,” he says. “To show a sad evening alone, there were more blues with very few inside lights turned on.” Finding that balance was tricky since he didn’t want too much lighting as it would appear “upbeat.” When Jabari encounters love at first sight with Meadow, there’s a shift that Ruppel implemented.
He explains, “As the romance develops, we kept on the warm side of the color wheel with the red magenta for the deepening romance. And we used blues and greens for questioning moments.” For much of “Entergalactic,” he wears a single hoodie with CLOSURE splattered across the chest. Producer Mike Moon explains for Jabari’s costumes, former Louis Vuitton artistic director Virgil Abloh was brought in to give the character a fresh look through costume design.
