Inspiration Art-direction & Camera, King Kong, Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack (1933)

I choose this footage because it's an old classic. The art-direction looks now-a-days very old, but for those days very modern.

King Kong

"A film crew goes to a tropical island for an exotic location shoot and discovers a colossal giant gorilla who takes a shine to their female blonde star."

By Robin Straatman

Inspiration mise-en-scéne, Gladiator, Ridley Scott (2000)

I took a scene of the film Gladiator, the mise-en-scéne and the art-direction are very important, because the atmosphere in the movie looks like you actually step in the Roman-eara.

Gladiator

"When a Roman general is betrayed and his family murdered by a corrupt prince, he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge."

By Robin Straatman

Great Art Direction

"Alexa Meade is a 23-year-old artist based in Washington, DC. She has innovated a Trompe-L’Oeil painting technique that can perceptually compress three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Rather than painting a representational picture on a flat canvas, Meade paints her representational image directly on top of her three-dimensional subjects. The subject and its representation become one and the same."

Roy Andersson

Roy Andersson is a swedish film director who has done large variety of different films, commercials/advertisements and short-films. He is famous for his personal style which is characterized by his swedish 'black humor', which can be described as odd and quite grotesque..

A lot of his work and his website is in swedish but you can press 'se klipp' in the describing texts next to the stills and you can watch some of his work. His work is very interesting and inspiring, both art-direction and style-wise. Give it a look, even though you don't understand what's being said!
