A while back, I came across this map of Chicago nationalities and wages by residents. It’s from 1895 and I found the color code so interesting. So I made a palette of thecolors and hunted down some images with similar colors. It helps me see it andexplain it in an easier more relatable way to others. ( to help me convince everyonethat I’m not crazy and to trust me.) these colors wouldn’t work for most sets but itwas perfect for the one I was working on. #productiondesign #colorpalette

Hurricane of Fun: The Making of Wet Hot American Summer
In 2000, David Wain and Michael Showalter set out to make their first film, Wet Hot American Summer. It was a low-budget, independent comedy, and they cast their friends - many newcomers to the business - Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, and many more. Released in 2001, it was panned by critics but has since become a cult classic, and those "friends" have gone on to become some of the biggest names in comedy. During the original shoot, over 25 hours of behind-the-scenes footage was shot, and it’s never been seen before - until now.
