Wes Anderson Assignment (April 1 - 23, 2015)
This month, our assignment is about the director Wes Anderson. Please post your six (new!) photos between April 1 - 23 and use the hashtag #wesandersonassignment.
This assignment might require a bit more prepping than usual, but we hope you’ll enjoy the challenge. We can’t wait to see your colorful contributions!
NO SHADES OF GREY (2x): Wes Anderson uses a beautiful range of colors in his films, like the outdoorsy greens in “Moonrise Kingdom” or the sugary pastels in “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Gorgeous shades of red and yellow can be found throughout his work. For this assignment, post two pictures that use a very distinct, Anderson-inspired color scheme. (We’ll post some helpful links on our facebook page)
WORLDS UNLIMITED: If there is one thing that can be learned from Anderson’s films it’s that life cannot be controlled. As a director, however, he often creates self-contained, miniature worlds that have their own set of rules. Try to create one of your own and photograph a scene where everything seems to be in its right place - like the infamous “dollhouse” shots in “The Darjeeling Unlimted” or “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
LOCATION SCOUT: Find a building (or a ship… or a treehouse… or a train...) that could be the backdrop for a Wes Anderson movie. Try to keep the lines straight.
SYMMETRY YRTEMMYS: As Anderson is a bit of a neat freak, the assignment could not be complete without an über-symmetrical shot. Whether it’s a mirrored frame or a clearly delineated center, whether it evolves around an object or people is up to you. Just make sure there is a structural balance to it (but try to look beyond common motifs like staircases and subways)
BONUS ASSIGNMENT - CREW ZISSOU: An hommage to the iconic outfit Bill Murray and his crew sport in “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”. A picture of someone in a red hat. It can be a selfie or someone you know (or, if you’re lucky enough, a busy stranger)
PS: You can use #wesandersonassignment_outtake for photos that didn’t make it into your final selection.
