“A lot of the shapes we ended up using for teen Bolt were really long limbs; he’s pretty lanky despite his athleticism. It ties into the story that he starts to feel the pressure of performance and achieving so much for his country.”—Kendra Phillips, designer
“[The film is like a] gouache painting come to life with bolder shapes. It gives the picture a personality. It’s bold and in your face because it should equal the boldness of Usain Bolt’s character.”—Jake Wyatt, co-director
