Characters In Wes Anderson Films

Within my own practice I stay within the realm of ‘real’, and keep a raw unpolished environment to be more applicable. I like to play with my color palette to evoke emotion even when there is lack of it in the subject. I work primarily digital; often looking to cinema for reference in style and compositions. Theses elements of my practice are what intrigued me to learn more about characters and how they are presented to us, the world. I want to delve deeper into how fashion and stylization contribute, if not make up character development and how a film’s character is further personified through what they wear. Focusing specifically on Wes Anderson films for his auteur-ship in the movie industry. Analyzing his films for their continuity, Visual style, character types and their influence to the fashion world.

Wes Anderson- born May 1, 1969 in Houston, TX and received his BA in Philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin, currently resides in Paris, France.
The young Anderson directed movies starring himself and his brothers, filming them with a Super 8mm camera. He read avidly, developing a passion for novels and finding himself consumed by storytelling. At the University of Texas at Austin he meet Owen Wilson, who has been a writing
Carson also pushed Anderson to enter the film in the Sundance Film Festival. Part of the magic of an Anderson film is the way a Royal Tenenbaums pairs with a Life Aquatic and seeing how the Anderson repertory troupe (including but not limited to Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Angelica Huston, Tilda Swinton, etc.) morph (or don’t morph) from one film with the director to the next. No matter what part of the movie you happen to come in on, you can always tell when you’ve stepped into Wes Anderson’s cinematic world. Andersons appeal comes from his nod to old Hollywood and what bringing the past to present does for viewers
