in Lightroom, the UPRIGHT guide lines (as to be seen in the small circle on the top left corner in the "transform -> upright"section) are perfect to adjust with higher precision the verticals and horizontals, using four lines to for all sides of a building such as the one use as example. way more efficient than using the sliders!!!!
Thing I love about Wes Anderson is people have tried to duplicate his style but he’s mastered it in such a way that when you see a duplication, it might seem easy to pull off based on the simplicity of his cinematography, but you kind of sense something is just a little bit off. That’s how you know he has mastered the craft and his distinction as a director
It was cool to see the Cadbury factory at 4:13 because that exact building is literally visible from my window. I only had to turn my head slightly to go from seeing it on screen to seeing it in real life. Excellent and very informative video by the way!
What a great video! And so surreal. I'm originally from Toronto, the beaches, which I see you are from also. I now live in Angouleme, France, where Wes's last film was shot. And Wes is my wife's and my favourite film maker... by a long shot. Thank you so much for this gem.
This is invaluable! I love how after an analysis you go out for a walk and show us how to put it to practice! Much appreciated. I feel bad for people stuck on watching endless lens reviews. Hope you get millions of views that your videos deserve. Best of luck, I can't wait for another vid!
So as a Wes Anderson detractor, thanks for helping me appreciate the photography on its own terms. (FWIW, I actually do like this style when it’s applied to more family oriented content, like the _Paddington_ films.)
Incredibly well done breakdown! Simple enough to understand for even a novice photographer too. I’ll be saving this video to come back to for reference!👏👏
Don't forget about the layering, everything in the foreground, middle ground, and background is distinctive, creating an illusion of "separation" yet seems seamless in his films.
Brilliant video! One thing I might mention. I am from Toronto but live near Angouleme in France where one of Wes's recent movies was filmed. I had the opportunity to see quite a few of the "Wes" buildings while the movie was being filmed. Many of the places in the movie didn't actually exists as shown. They were real buildings or places that were heavily altered to get that look. So I guess I'm saying, if you don't find what you are looking for, it's ok to enhance the scene, either in post or by modifying the scene itself. Wes does it all the time. I guess in that sense, Accidentillay Wes Anderson is actually more authentic 🙂
Really liked this one. I love Wes Anderson's films and I'm excited to actually give this a go since I live somewhere with a really quirky aesthetic that would lend itself well to this style
Loved this video. Makes me want to go on a photo walk with the goal to be creating something in the style of Wes Anderson. Also the shot of the red building I’m surprised you didn’t go for the 2 chairs sitting in isolation looking out over the coast.
I recently stumbled upon your videos and since then been binge watching. Great content and a lot of research. I'm inspired to look out for Wes Anderson style settings. Keep creating. I'm subscribed
Brilliant video - I liek Wes Anderson movies, but I never thought about why - thank you for opening my eyes. I will try this style next time I shoot on the road
great video man it make me change my perspective of photography mostly i take portrait of family, friend and random people. i feel bit wrong? (not sure the word to describe it) on nonpeople photography because it was less interesting but this is way more interesting than i thought. Hope ur channel blow up soon this is amazing
Fascinating! I love the ascetic of Wes Anderson's films and will appreciate and enjoy them even more now that I can breakdown and identify what that ascetic is.
Great video! I love Wes movies much because of what you talk about. I sometimes miss the dialog here and there because I am looking at the set or the light. And now I have a new photo project :-) Only J. Tati has that effect on me.
I love your videos man, I just binge watched almost all your "how to" videos, they are very informative, especially for a beginner photographer like me and I thank you for that. I suggest that you should do a video about Better Call Saul's photography and cinematography, I think that would be great!
Lens barrel distortion is not a guaranteed issue based on subject to camera distance! Any poorly corrected lens may display barrel OR pincushion optical distortions regardless of the wide or telephoto properties and with little variance with changes to the subject distance. Also changes from a parallel camera alignment to the subject will create other distortions to the image. Pointing the camera left, right, up or down creates ‘perspective distortions’ and, yes, ALL of these can be corrected in stills and video editing software!
4:20 its not quite true about distortion, his movies like grand Budapest hotel had really wide shots with crazy amount of distortions in them. Loved the whole video.
Yeah it doesn't apply to 100% of his shots, just like not all of his reds and yellows are saturated. I would say though that most of the curated "Accidentally Wes Anderson" photos tend to avoid distortion.
this was a really great video, im gonna be on the look out for more of these little things in my photography. i love the shots here, what camera do you use?
its probably changed by now, but the tunnel between Spadina and St George stations would have been perfect for this video. or even the Alex Wilson Gardens.
Accidentally taking photos that look like they could be in a Wes Anderson film can be a fun and creative way to capture your surroundings. Here are some tips to help you achieve that distinctive look: Use a pastel or muted color palette: Wes Anderson is known for his use of pastel colors, especially pink, blue, and yellow. Look for settings that feature these colors or edit your photos to have a similar effect. Symmetry and straight lines: Wes Anderson often uses symmetry and straight lines in his shots. Try to find angles or structures that can create a symmetrical composition. Play with scale: Wes Anderson often employs forced perspective and exaggerates the size of objects to add a surreal and whimsical element to his scenes. Experiment with different angles to create this effect. Include quirky or vintage elements: Wes Anderson's films often feature quirky or vintage items that add character to the scene. Look for similar elements in your surroundings, such as vintage cars, neon signs, or quirky street art. Consider the lighting: Wes Anderson's films are often shot in soft, diffused light. Try shooting during the golden hour or on a cloudy day to achieve a similar effect. Pay attention to the details: Wes Anderson's films are known for their attention to detail, from the costumes to the set design. Take the time to carefully compose your shot and include details that add to the overall feel of the scene. Remember, the goal is to have fun and be creative with your photography, so don't be afraid to experiment and try new things!

Intentionally Wes Anderson. Beautiful shots. Even your filming while walking felt designed. 👏
Thanks!
@@ImitativePhotography I think he was being snide

That's fantastic! If it's anything like the Cadbury factory in Toronto then the smell must be delicious.
Bro doxxed himself
@@minnesotanfreedomist3147 yeah, he might be living either along Sparrey Drive or Lea Yield Circle in Birmingham England
One of the best channels I’ve come across in recent time not only do you have the theory but you also provide the practical. Thank you

Wow, what a great coincidence!
Yes! Very cool to see Toronto!
Anderson took a style of composition that filmmakers traditionaly try to avoid, and emphasized it . What a legend!
The pan up from the book to the telephone was a very nice touch.
This is invaluable!
I love how after an analysis you go out for a walk and show us how to put it to practice!
Much appreciated.

This is probably one of the best photography YT videos I've seen in a while. Well done!
Thanks. I get a lot from your videos. Genuinely inspiring.

I didn't know i needed pedro pascal to teach me about wes anderson, but boy am I glad he has
🤣
This is why I ❤TH-cam. This video should win an award for “Best of”
Don't forget about the layering, everything in the foreground, middle ground, and background is distinctive, creating an illusion of "separation" yet seems seamless in his films.
Wes Anderson shots feel like following small toy characters through a huge toy set
That's a great way to put it.
Excellent video. Your explanation of the different aspects of the films and then the real life photos is so useful.
Well done! Great observations and summary. Love the Jane TTC stop too.
Love your analysis of photographers' style! It helps open my eyes and see in a different way. Very motivating! Thank you!
Happy to hear!
Pedro Pascal has such a soothing voice and he's explanations on Wes Anderson are so exquisite ! :) thanx
This video is everythingggggggg - the theory and then the theory applied.. so educational and inspiring. Thank you and Please make more haha
seen a number of your 'imitative' videos...unique and excellent.
Finally somebody explained focal lenght and distortion like im 5. Great video, thank you very much.

Haven’t enjoyed a photography video this much in a long time. I simply adore Wes Anderson films
Loved this video. Makes me want to go on a photo walk with the goal to be creating something in the style of Wes Anderson.
Also the shot of the red building I’m surprised you didn’t go for the 2 chairs sitting in isolation looking out over the coast.
Yep they caught my eye too but the building made for a more compelling composition. The chairs, the beach, the water were all washed out colours.
Most enjoyable. Just discovered your channel and working through the back catalogue. Subscribed.
I shoot B&W film and quite often find myself with negatives that are very reminiscent of Wes Anderson's style of shooting. I love the style.
one of my favorite photography videos ever! great job!
This was offbeat and wonderful, beautifully put together too 👌

This is awesome, well done ol' chap! I own and love the Accidentally Wes Anderson postcard collection. Wondrous.
Brilliant video - I liek Wes Anderson movies, but I never thought about why - thank you for opening my eyes. I will try this style next time I shoot on the road
Great video and channel. I’m really happy I stumbled upon it . Great stuff. Keep it up!
Amazing, I'll be shooting an accidentally Wes Anderson reel and this was very helpful to get familiar with the style
Thank for this Video !
The Wes Anderson’s fascinating style seems know accessible. So let’s go to practice.

Now I know where my inspiration has come from, great pictures and video to explain the style I love
Delightful! This video brought me a moment of joy and happiness. Thank you.
Lovely! Enjoyed this video throughly! Feels like taking a photography class 101!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I love your attention to detail. Makes this channel awesome!
Fascinating! I love the ascetic of Wes Anderson's films and will appreciate and enjoy them even more now that I can breakdown and identify what that ascetic is.
Absolutely amazing video … touched all aspects … put them in perspective for daily use and overall video is super rich and precise 🙏 great job thanks
Love this, and love Wes Anderson's aesthetic!

Awesome! Me too. I often find myself pausing or rewatching scenes just to appreciate the aesthetic.
Thanks for all the detail. You can tell you put a lot of thought into the video
Wes Anderson has that special clean and designed shot, and you did it so perfectly! Now the everyday mundane seems so coola me artsy 😅
That's a very helpful video. I really like your intonation and the general tone of the vid. I'll apply your advises quiclky !
inspired me to do some planimetric staging on an upcoming vacation! I think the subject matter will support it
This is so fun - keep ‘em coming!
I am so happy to have discovered your channel. Wonderful content
You reached your goal. I will hold my eyes open and take these pictures, too.
Someone probably mentioned this, but the colour grading reminds me of Fuji's classic chrome
I bought the book ! It’s brilliant as is your video 🙏🙏🙏

this was an interesting video, but when he pulled up at woodbine beach in toronto brought it right home!
Man this series of vids is great!
Omg, wes Anderson points of view become a genre of photography
Great explanation... Loved the shots

I never imagined Pedro Pascal would be explaining to me the essence of Wes Anderson movies.
Those metro station shots are insanely Wes Anderson
He uses primary colours in a weird way though. His reds are red-orange and his yellows are mustard.
There has to be a framerate mismatch when you're sampling some videos, the panning shots are excessively juttery (more than just 3:2 pulldown)
What a fantastic, enjoyable video. Brilliant 👍
Loved this vid! Thanks! Genius approach!
very surreal seeing you take photos of buildings i’ve walked passed 100+ times
Fujifilm's Nostalgic Negative simulation is the epitome of Wes Anderson's color palette.
4:20 its not quite true about distortion, his movies like grand Budapest hotel had really wide shots with crazy amount of distortions in them. Loved the whole video.

Come for the Wes Anderson photography. Stay for the Pedro Pascal voice.
I feel like this is Pedro Pascal whispering photography secrets to me.
Needless to say it feels pretty damn good.
🤣
sorry for my bad english. How delightful video, thank you so much for this. Which camera you use?
I used a Nikon D5600.
So I was doing accidental Wes Anderson photos before actually knowing who Wes Anderson is... Cool :D
Just got a used Nikon D800 , hoping to publish my first Wes Anderson style photos😊
Nice!
Great, amazing.

Beautiful. Very satisfying to watch. I love it 🏫
Great presentation, I really enjoyed that! Something else for me to consider snapping with my X100V!
How did you film that at 8:07 and make it so smooth? Looked straight out of his movie.
It's the DJI Pocket 2 stabilization. It's like a mini gimbal.
0:11 he is not standing in middle of stairway.
you sound like pedro pascal, love the video mate
Love the username 😂
Thank you, Pedro Pascal!

Remember, the goal is to have fun and be creative with your photography, so don't be afraid to experiment and try new things!
While I agree, using all these tips is making it pretty much the opposite of "accidentally" taking Wes Anderson-esque photos lol

I took some shots of the chairs but they didn't turn out as nice as I thought they would.
