Wes Anderson Project

The Wes Anderson Project

As a class, we are going to be responsible for assembling a collection of Wes Anderson-inspired short films, skits, et al.

You can film an existing scene in the style of Anderson, create a trailer for a fictional movie, or experiment with stop-motion animation. Be creative. Be quirky.

The class needs to complete 5 short films, each approximately 3 minutes in length. Work together! There are a good deal of talented people available to help!

The following elements must be present:

1. Tracking shots and pans used for humorous effect
2. Identifiable use of a distinct color palette
3. Mise en Scene: Create at least one carefully constructed and shot setting
4. Wes Anderson-esque music: The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, etc.
5. Slow motion
6. Narration

*You may use stop-motion animation in lieu of any of the 2 elements listed above.

All of the aforementioned do not need to be repeatedly present; rather, they must appear at least once. For the sake of this project, story-telling can take a backseat to style. 

You will be graded on your comprehension of his style and your creativity.

Have fun!

Due Wednesday May, 11th.
