(2/2) This obsidian "pebble" functions as an important prop in the film. It's a magnetized key used to scan doors open. We wanted the film's world to be set in the near future, but still be grounded to our current reality. So we employed a degree of simplistic realism into the artistry of its design.
Because we're nerds and like creating more work for ourselves, we even made up a whole backstory behind the pebble's brand, called 'ORB' -- The film's version of a Weyland Yutani.
Many thanks to Matt Camfield - our super talented production designer for sketching, modelling, 3D-printing and sculpting this pebble from scratch!
