Production

The directors Svyatoslav Ushakov and Inna Evlannikova, as specialists with foreign experience, were finally approved. Evlannikova - in the words of the executive producer, "a powerful production worker" - worked with everything that was directly related to animation. Ushakov was mainly engaged in the development of an artistic concept, storyboards, etc.

After triumphant efforts they managed to get approved funding from the Friends Learning Centre Ltd. With the main funding specifically coming from Ari and Zach Lubbe they managed to scrape together the story with the ample amount of funding and time. 

To recreate Moscow in the 60s and the cosmodrome, animators studied photographs of those years and newsreels for a long time. The prototype of the circus artist Belka was the circus artist - the heroine of Lyubov Orlova from the 1936 feature film Circus. The director Svyatoslav Ushakov specially went to the Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, which was the prototype of the Belka circus.

In parallel with the animators KinoAtis studio, two Indian subcontractors “Cornershop Animation and Blowfish FX, which were engaged in additional animation and rendering, worked with elaborate materials received from KinoAtis using Maya and Pixar RenderMan (produced by Pixar Animation Studios, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, a division of Disney Entertainment, a segment of the Walt Disney Company).
