Historical characters were chosen and sets were created by being inspired from their past events and how they impacted the nation. The journey had several intervals in between with new discoveries every time trying to follow the same art style throughout.

Tomorrowland (2015) and Ready Player One (2018) were two similar movies chosen for speculation. Tomorrowland speculates the future with a flip coin perspective while Ready Player One dwells into escaping reality through a video game. Both the movies have different themes and tones, yet they are similar as two distinct worlds are portrayed.
A critical step was choosing the character for the chosen movie which was Ready Player One, hence Mother Teresa was apt as her whole journey was depicted through a teenage girl who looked up to Mother Teresa as her role model and decoded the game while this fictional character gave hints. Hence following the theme, fictional sets were made.
