Besson started writing the story that would become The Fifth Element when he was 16 years old; he was 38 when the film opened in theaters. Besson wanted to shoot the film in France, but suitable locations could not be found. Instead, filming took place in London at the Pinewood Studios, and for the scenes set in Egypt they were shot in the African ...
Scale models
The beginning of significant advances in CGI was just around the corner, but they would not arrive in time for Besson to use in the production of The Fifth Element. As a result, it took five months and 85 model makers and 85 artists to construct the scale models and backgrounds needed for filming. Explosions were either live-action created on outside sets or they were clips from a pyrotechnic library. New York City was a 1/24 scale model with some of the towers exceeding 24 feet tall and 40 f...

Costumes had their own issues. The costumes for the Mondoshawans were so tall and bulky, there was no way for the actors inside to see where they were going. Closed circuit monitors and earphones were used inside the costumes to guide the actors who were otherwise moving blind on the set. The Mangalore costumes were somewhat more effective, with the actors able to see out courtesy of eye holes in the head mask, but the task of applying make-up to disguise the exposed skin around the eyes beca...
CGI
It's already been noted that the flying cars were depicted using CGI, although, for some shots, 1/6 scale models of the police cars and Korben's taxi were used. Also, any spacecraft in flight were computer generated. A lot of effort was put into generating the molten planetary body of Evil as it was confronted by the Federated Army spacecraft. The views of the planets Earth and Fhlostonwere simpler as the shots were short and library footage could be used. When the diva was on stage, any time...
The film was nominated for many different awards, including an Oscar nomination in 1998 for Best Sound Editing, but it only won a few. In 1997, it won a BAFTA award for Best Special Visual Effects and the Technical Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Also, in the 1998 César Awards, the film was nominated in several categories and won three.
