Reflection of Director Wes Anderson's Work

My favorite director is Wes Anderson. He is known to make very stylized films, which creates strong opinions among his audience. He is known for using fast paced dolly movements, a distinct color palette, and notable costumes in the form of uniforms.

Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom highlights characters wearing uniforms of Khaki troop leaders, Khaki scouts, and iconic costumes such as Suzy Bishop's sixties inspired pink dress.
Moonrise Kingdom's color palette includes crimson, mustard yellow, olive, light blue, and gray.

The Royal Tenenbaums creates interest visually by costuming multiple characters in red jumpsuits and Gwyneth Paltrow's Margot in an oversized fur coat.
The Royal Tenenbaum's color palette includes red, bronze, light blue, blue-gray, and off-white.

Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou draws attention to Belefonteo's crew who wear red hats paired with blue shirts and pants.
Life Aquatic's color palette includes light blue, blue-gray, mustard yellow, and red.
