Pierre 'Bibelot' Castonguier “The Master Prop Maker Who Could Weaponize Office Furniture”
Castonguier was the creative force behind the physical world of Retro-Canadian Data Pictures. With a budget consisting mostly of pocket lint and good intentions, he transformed typewriters into supercomputers and industrial piping into villainous superweapons. His designs prioritized visual impact and rapid construction over structural integrity or user comfort.
How He Was Discovered
Spotted by the studio design team when he constructed a fully functional, multi-tiered cash register display out of discarded scrap metal and old clock parts.

- He was notorious for hoarding old filing cabinets, claiming they were the fundamental building blocks of all future dystopian sci-fi cinema.
Quotes
“Give me two cardboard boxes, a rolling pin, and a can of silver spray paint, and I will build you a supercomputer by noon.”
“Careful with that ray gun, it is held together entirely by industrial wood glue and prayer.”
