A supercut by Korean filmmaker Kogonada of director Wes Anderson’s obsession with symmetry.

And while we’re on the subject, check out Wes Anderson Palettes – a pleasingly ordered tribute to another of the director’s trademarks: colour harmony.

The Dantone Guide by Danish ad agency TN Reklame, what sez:

Finding the right linguistic nuances when communicating is of course just as important as finding the right colour. Which is why we have developed The Dantone Guide, a chart that introduces nuances in the Danish language (the examples have been translated). From PEACE, over UNREST, to WAR. From FINANCIAL CRISIS, over ZERO GROWTH, to UPTURN. The colours of the words follow the actual Pantone scale and the colour of each concept matches its subject. So that matters related to emotions are red/pink, financial issues are blue, environmental issues green and so forth.

Colour us optimistic.

Neatfreak filmmaker Cy Kuckenbaker explains:

The source footage for this video is a 4-minute shot from the Washington Street bridge above State Route 163 in San Diego captured at 2:39pm Oct 1, 2013. My aim is to reveal the color palette and color preferences of contemporary San Diego drivers in addition to traffic patterns and volumes. There are no CG elements, these are all real cars that have been removed from one sample and reorganized.

Cy’s previous two ‘studies’ (which you should peruse without delay if you like the cut of his jib) involve composite videos of planes landing and departing at San Diego International airport.

How he did it.
