"In order to create this world, I wanted to shoot in real images and give a sense of realism by shooting real insects, animals and greenery, so that you could touch with your eyes this forest where the bird is. But in the face of this realism, I wanted to have complete direction of the sets, so that I could control the composition and lighting."
