Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Pepper.......

When l started to think about doing the film, one of the things l really wanted to look at was the colour palette. The film version of Peter Pan is really great, lt has a sense of surrealism and fun incorporated into it. The rich colours really gove it a painted feel. l think when conveying different scenes, moods, messages, atmospheres can be greatly helped by the colours that are used. When l looked at the extras that came with the Nightmare before christmas, it was interresting to hear again how they talked about the palette. The art director mentioned a time when Tim Burton came to him stated that for a particular scene they to use three colours as the palette. Also in Corpse Bride, there is a difference between the world of the dead and the world of the living. It is quite interesting how they use more of lively coloured palette for the underworld and a very dead and dull looking palette for the world above the ground. To hear this and then see the result was interesting too.
