“The details, that’s what the world
is made of.” – Wes Anderson
His movie poster for The Grand
Budapest once caught my attention because of its whimsical nature. I remember
saving a copy of the picture itself simply because “I like seeing pretty
things.” Come to think about it, I didn’t even bother to get to know who the
director was then. Shame.
As fate would have it, the name Wes
Anderson would eventually be revealed to me when our styling instructor grouped
us to create an editorial inspired by one of his movies. He briefly gave us a
background of the director – his penchant for sticking to a certain palette per
movie.
Now that I have gathered more
details about him for this post, the more I find myself curious to actually
watch one of his films. Yet again, double shame because given the tight
schedule, me and my classmate focused only on the color composition aspect per se of the movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Had I known how meticulous Anderson
is when it comes to details, I would’ve seen the movie itself and gone gaga for
this editorial. Like seriously. Reading this beginner’s guide to his movies is
just soooo inspiring that I wanna apply his filmography techniques to styling.
Haha!
But with a one week deadline, this is the by-product of our
humble effort - red and blue by the bay. Still, I am proud of our collaboration given our meager
resources (aka an iPhone5 for the shots
and us taking photos of ourselves – the group was taken by Teray’s nanny) and I
had really fun working with this girl.
Honestly, I had so many ideas for
this homework that were not executed. The fashion styling class is over (*sob*)
and a lot of the editorials submitted will be featured here soon. Wait for it.
:) But I know to myself, this Wes Anderson editorial is not yet over. Haha! I
don’t have to be in a styling class to work on it right? All I need is time and
imagination….Soon…
