Visual Look

Colors: White, Blue, with bright, neon accents.

White--this color will emphasize the type of environment that X surrounds himself in. It shows the sterile atmosphere of the hospital, lab coats, etc., which to X, feels like home. Thus, he keeps coming back to it.

Blue--light blue, pastel, more in order to supplement and meld with the white, giving the white a cooler tone, thus strengthening the sterile feel. Symbol-wise, blue often emphasizes friendship, and peace, which will support X’s innocent character, and which will clash with him as he violates that innocence in the climax scene.

Bright, Neon Accents--not necessarily neon lights, but bright-colored accents that will be part of the set/props/costume. Dr. Clark for example will wear a neon-green shirt underneath her white coat. Other objects, such as the tools, props, different costume pieces will be brightly colored. This will give little peaks of vibrancy/excitement/life in the sterile white. This reflects the state of X, whose “human” passion is peaking through sterile machinery.
Lighting: Bright, Flat

I usually hate the look of “flat” lighting; it’s like watching a three-camera sit-com, ugh. But bright lighting will help give the color scheme life. For the white, it will give it almost an overbearing presence. It will also emphasize the accents properly. This lighting will support X as an innocent character, and will betray the feeling as he violates that innocence in the climax.

Overall Aesthetic: Fantastic among the mundane
The color scheme supports this overall aesthetic with the bright-colored accents among the plain white. I want to show the world where we live in now, as if it was 2008, perhaps tuned up a bit on the eccentric, and then inject these quasi-homemade robots that is accepted as the forefront of technology. And a robot is nothing unusual to see; hence the reason this “reality” has robot hospitals and robot doctors. Its merely part of society.
