Stories from the set

Filming took place in Moscow and Krasnodar.

The gravity assist maneuver that the Smeshariki plan to perform is based on real principles of astronautics. This technique is indeed used by spacecraft to change their trajectory using the gravitational field of celestial bodies.

For the filming of one of the scenes, actor Aleksandr Lykov spent 2 weeks learning to play the violin with a teacher.

During production, computer graphics affected more than a thousand frames. The work included both augmented reality elements integrated into real studio footage and fully digital scenes.

Some scenes were made using the 2.5D technique. Thus, during filming, two-dimensional objects are used, but the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality is created through the different distances of the objects from the camera and parallax.
