Aguilar originally planned for the film to be called "Underman 2000 in Outcast Santuary", but decided to make created the film by making five different Astro Boy figures, each with different faces or positions. Some of the figures were not used, as they either fell apart or were not needed for the final cut.
The film was created with action figures and handmade figurines, and shot frame by frame on 8mm film. Music and other sound elements were added on a separate track.
