“Last year some of my work was used on the set for The I.T Crowd (C4) and this year they’ve asked if I’d like to work with them again. Here’s what I’ve come up with…” - illustrator Louise Zergaeng Pomeroy. (Ghosts)

I loved Margo’s leaping zebra wallpaper in The Royal Tenenbaums. The wallpaper was created for Gino’s restaurant in New York City and has since been revived by Scalamandre, famous for producing fabrics for Hearst Castle and the White House. No clue on how expensive it is, probably very.

Virtually all of the most bizarre and fascinating scenes in this movie were created with old fashioned camera, editing, lighting and prop/set tricks. The use of digital effects was very limited. The striking kitchen scene with Joel as a child was created with an elaborate forced perspective set-up similar to some used by Peter Jackson in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (via)

My favorite people to see in the credits: Set decorator Sandy Wasco and her husband, production designer David Wasco.

Their work includes Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Reservoir Dogs, and more.

David Wasco also plays the guard in Rushmore who hands Max his shoelaces.

I didn’t PA on the film, but they shot on the street I lived on in Paris, the pictoresque rue Mouffetard. I came back from doing loads of laundry and convinced a lovely French PA to please let me go in my building when they re-set. Then I headed out with my cam and tried to get as close as possible to take photos (which they were cool about) without being a nuisance.

I’m seeing the film with a close friend who came to visit me in Paris. I’m not that excited to see it, just nostalgic to see the neighborhood that I loved so dearly for a year, covered in period facade, even if it only takes 10 seconds of screentime. I’m also convinced they casted my favorite grocer as a grocer guy. I really believe that I saw him in a commercial for the film.
