00:03 You know it when you see it.
00:15 There's a bit of delight, some essence of whimsy,
00:18 some pastel color palette, maybe some symmetry.
00:23 There have been many parodies online about what makes
00:25 a Wes scene work for us.
00:29 It's something a bit more intangible
00:31 because we have to relate the image to a story.
00:34 And if the story isn't there, it is not
00:36 an accidental Wes Anderson project.
00:38 It has to pair a beautiful image with a deserving story.

00:46 I think it's just the color, the color of everything
00:55 that Wes Anderson does.
00:57 It's really inspiring the pastels that he uses,
01:00 the symmetry, and everything like that.
01:04 So I think as you walk around, you're like,
01:06 have I seen this in a film?
01:08 Have I seen this?
01:09 Has Wes Anderson actually used this?
01:10 But obviously, none of them have been taken by Wes Anderson,
01:13 so they're not in his films.
01:15 But it's definitely-- you can feel his presence here,
01:18 as it were.
