LazyTown’s film world is complex and when the dynamic film fails, Balcells and his colleagues take over. Their role ranges from bringing in the smallest details that are difficult to film to creating full-length videos in 3D. Balcells allows me to look over the shoulder of several employees where really amazing things are happening. “Actually, the technical term ‘technological effects’ does not adequately reflect what we do. If the viewer realizes where technology replaces the film, we have failed. The flow of the film should be smooth. The trick should not be seen. That’s why I prefer to call it ‘invisible special effects’,” says Balcells.
Production on the LazyTown TV series began nearly three years ago, and Balcells joined the group late last year (2005). “Raymond Le Gué, the executive producer on the project, contacted me last fall when I was living and working in Honolulu, Hawaii, and asked if I would be interested in participating in a project in Iceland,” says Balcells once we settle in the so-called Hudson room in LazyTown.
