The views and opinions in Terra 2050 came from informal interviews with a wide range of people from all walks of life in the UK, Europe and beyond. They include:

A group of ladies from the over 60's club at Prideaux House in Hackney, East London (conveniently situated near the filmmakers studio).

Also taking part were:
A local restaurant owner, a computer scientist, an architect, a musician, a
cell biologist, an artist, an art curator, a peace campaigner, and the filmmakers 5 year old nephew who invented 'bread sandwiches flavour pizza' for the film!

Some of the illustrations were created by the contributors too:
Olivia and Connall Mclaughlin, aged 11 and 6, provided the jetpack illustrations. Connall provided the dialogue, and artist Collin Hawkins provided both the dialogue and illustrations on chickens.

Terra 2050 was produced by Christos Hatjoullis at Shroom Studios in East London. The production was directed by the three partners of Shroom, Chris, his brother Alex Hatjoullis and Christian Krupa, who were assisted by animator Iain Welland. The films were truly a family affair, with Chris and Alex's father and uncle contributing to the animation - artist Mike Hatjoullis and 'Beano' illustrator Uncle Emilo Hatjoullis provided storyboards and character designs.
