I wanted to use my latest journal entry to let you into a bit more of my thought process. My introduction to Adorned Cinema ( here) is about the overall project, but with the support and advice of the Adobe team, they wanted me to focus on one aspect. Just in case you weren’t aware, The Adobe community fund was put together to give support and funding to creatives amidst this upheaval due to Covid. Applications are open and runs alongside the creative residency.

I decided to work on the progression and enigma of Margot. Why Margot? To me she is such an integral part to the Royal Tenenbaums. She is arguably a style icon, with her signature bob, heavily kohled eyes and forever pieces that she adopts from adolescence to adulthood. She is a paradox, she may not be a Tenenbaum by blood, but she fits right into the family of geniuses. Re- Imagining still life scenarios that would convey this character leads into the process of becoming a better story teller. The challenge is to reflect the strength of her unapologetic introvert character, emulating the style of the film. I would love the final product to fit seamlessly into a film cut as if Wes Anderson had shot it himself. Definitely look out for my follow-up post, which will be the breakdown of the final still life pictures.
