Wes Anderson always uses colour brilliantly and 'Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014) is no different. But i also really enjoyed his creative decision to alter the aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3 when transitioning to different times in the narrative
Sam and Niko's work from YouTube is really inspired. They take cool ideas for special effects shots and turn them into little fun clips on the site. Often do tutorials on their method of practice aswell.
I adored the short film 'The One Minute Time Machine' (2014) because it had a remarkably simple premise, but with brilliant execution and heart made one of the best short films ive ever seen
Modern movies like 'The Avengers' (2012) can really push whats we think is possible in terms of video compositing. This sort of work requires creativity but relentless attention to detail which can be satisfying. I aspire to do such work
I really like the show 'Louie' its absurdist and dark humour give it a unique style. I also respect that Louis CK successfully writes, directs, stars and edits it himself.
Andy Warholl's 'Self portrait no. 9' is a piece i like to look at when i go to NGV. I love the irony of the overly saturated party coloured camo
I like the work of Jackson Pollock, pictured is Blue Poles which resides in the canberra national gallery
I love the murder mystery style of Agatha Christie. I think it is a very fun and underused element in modern cinema. The image is from the 1978 adaption of her novel 'Death On The Nile'
The Rian Johnson film 'Looper' (2012) inspires my writing and film making. Rian made a very philosophical film that also uses largely practical effects. An example he gave was using CG not to create a 3D digital carrot but to erase the thread holding up the real carrots in the climax
I love the way David Finchers 'Fight Club' (1995) uses creative story telling techniques. Such as the flashing of Tyler Durden before we have even met the character
The White Stripes had very creative music videos. The one for 'The Hardest Button to Button' is particularly interesting because it would of taken a very long time to execute. Inspires commitment and hard work
Jack White inspires me as a musician, but also inspires me as an entrepreneur. His record company has brilliant branding design and he is able to market tangibility and rarity in the digital age
