The X are in fact real people in costumes with rubber cut-
out's for facial expressions; however the sets and
production of the commercials give the effect of the
characters being animated. The effect was achieved by a
variety of methods including choosing the right material for
the body suits to ensure that there were no wrinkles when
the characters moved, shooting the footage at higher frame
rates and keeping backgrounds simple in terms of details
and the use of a neutral tone of grey. The X were split in
two parts - the body and the head. The body was made
using a special material stuffed with foam in some places
(notably around the stomach) while the head was created
using a harder material called Perspex.
The X have gained immense popularity since they first
aired, and have their own micro site well as a fan page on
Facebook.
