Wes Anderson

How to shoot a drink commercial like Wes Anderson

Continuing our obsession with all things Wes Anderson, we had to share this video from Scott from Tin House Studio. Of course, this is just a pastiche on the director’s signature style, but it’s a beautiful look, and even better, it only requires two lights to shoot!

Alongside the two lights, the entire set-up only uses two pieces of pastel-coloured card, two coloured boards and a martini glass (naturally). There is nothing ‘accidentally Wes Anderson‘ about this shot.

How and why Wes Anderson still uses miniatures in his movies

Miniatures used to be the standard in movies. Back in the days before CGI, they were pretty much the only way to create a lot of things. If you need an alien spaceship in your movie, building one to full scale was impractical, and actually making it fly was impossible. So, miniatures were used with some clever filming techniques in order to make them look real. To make them look full size.

Once CGI came along, a lot of things were just much easier to do on the computer. Some filmmakers, though, didn’t believe they looked real – not that miniatures were always believable. Wes Anderson is one such filmmaker. In this video, Vox had a chat with miniature and prop maker Simon Weisse to find out why and how they’re still used in movies today – particularly Wes Anderson movies.

Another week, another TikTok trend. TikTok challenges are famous mostly for being stupid. Some even cause extreme harm with a sort of grim Darwinesque natural selection vibe. However, this one is different. You could almost call it wholesome.

I’m talking, of course, about the current trend of Wes Anderson-ising your life into a 30-second clip in the style of the iconic movie director. Complete with a soundtrack from the score to The French Dispatch, and you’ve got yourself a very Insta-worthy little reel. So naturally, I had to try making my own.

These cooking videos shot in the styles of famous directors are just beautiful and hilarious.

Cooking videos tend to follow a fairly strict recipe (pun intended). First, we’re introduced to the ingredients. Then they dice, chop and mix a few things up. Finally, they pull one out of the oven that they “prepared earlier” that’s been cooking away for a couple of hours. For some celebrity chefs, there’s even the occasional bit of profanity thrown in for good measure.

What if we ditched the reality show style of Kitchen Nightmares, or the studioesque kitchens of Jamie Oliver? What if they were directed by Michael Bay or Quentin Tarantino? A neat thought, huh? Well, these cooking videos from food artist and director David Ma illustrate exactly that. They’re brilliantly put together, and absolutely hilarious.
