This movie is based on DJ Q-Bert's "Wave Twisters" album and because of this, all of the video and story that you see were created after the audio, resulting in an effect wherein most of the things you see on screen sync up to the music and audio.
The design of the wrist-mounted Wave Twister is based on the Technics 1200, a celebrated line of turntables used by many DJs and turntablists.
The people on the planet are Playmobil figures.
