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.

  • This video of Adam Stockhausen is brilliant. Please make more of these with people who are not used to be in the spotlight but deserved it as much as actors and directors.

    • @@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

  • 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.

    • 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)

  • I thought that was such an interesting detail about Grand Budapest: how the interior of the hotel evolved over time during different eras. In its heyday it was baroque and full of ornamental elements. In the later years the beauty was stripped away and it was forced to become utilitarian.

  • 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.

However, I gave up after 6 minutes - there was absolutely no chance of seeing and absorbing the scenes that AS was talking about. This could have and should have been a great video but it was ruined by irritatingly brief glimpses of the subject matter. AS & his team have exceptional skills. Sadly, whoever edited this video does not. 😞
