  • Production designer Adam Stockhausen shows us how he brings sets to life for Wes Anderson's iconic films like 'The Budapest Hotel,' 'The French Dispatch' and 'Asteroid City.' How do you get the retro look and feel of the Luncheonette scene? How do you portray depth and richness in each shot? How can you make sets "float" for the insides to be seen and be as light as possible? From ample research to gather all the intricate details to physically bringing the sets to life, Adam takes us through his genius process of production design.

      @@mellarksdandelionI think Barbie will win for Costume Design, but Asteroid City should win for Production Design. The production design of Barbie Land looks great, but it seems like that will only be in the intro to the movie, whereas most of the movie will take place in the real world, where there is no unique production design

      This was something I was thinking about the other day when I saw Asteroid City. It had the credits in the beginning and there was something I was thinking was a spoiler in them and it was very obvious and I remember thinking thats a shame...then I realized that everything was a conscious decision and it was put there on purpose (especially considering credits at the beginning of a film isnt typical these days)

    Wes Anderson's highly stylized films might not be to everyone's taste, but there's no denying the skill, craftsmanship, and complete love for theater and cinema which go into them. Thanks so much for posting this delightful and highly informative piece. Adam Stockhausen himself is a master of his element and worthy of several more videos discussing the ins and outs of film production design.

    I doubt your average movie enthusiast knows how much effort goes into set design and construction, and what location scouts go through to find on-location places and buildings to use, as well as how much or what parts of an existing building or location can be used in shots and what parts need to be recreated in sets. It would be interesting and fun to be a location scout for a movie or television show. The average movie buff takes this aspect of a movie for granted.
