I think for an office doesn’t ever stop or sleep, that it felt messy and it felt lived in and real.
I kind of pulled from a lot of places and I liked the idea of the TVA having this kind of retro-futuristic technology because I’ve also worked in a lot of offices, and often the technology is not updated, and it is in need of an update.
I was drawing from loads of places, like our time doors are inspired by Dune, and the computers in the TVA, the text on those is a bit more like Alien.
Beyond [film noir], I just wanted it to be like a kind of big love letter to sci-fi so, I spoke about before, but like Brazil, Metropolis, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
