“KAIJU CUTIE”—
–Walls are built out of fear. They not only protect but also shut in. The leopard looks at the man from outside
–The color palette of the costumes and sets (except HK) should be very lightly saturated with grays, faded blues and shadowy blacks and ochres to respond to a pattern of VERY saturated lighting that can give the film epic stature and the feel of an adventure movie with super-saturated colors
“sensei in white suit.”
–color transition between the two “suiting” rooms in the film.

–The scavengers are the whalers of the twenty-first century—
“scavenger”
GDT: Well the elegant scavenger is sort of like the head of the scavengers. In the Renaissance, you indicated your status by how much fabric you wore. The more fabric you wasted, the higher your status. So if you look at Tudor clothes, there’s layer upon layer upon layer. And I like the idea of the elegant scavenger having four or five layers to his mask and his clothing using a lot of fabric.

–“Is there anyone else here with us…” she asks after having seen the prince in the palace garden in the moonlight. Eventually she finds the abandoned pelt.

–Discuss the Beast’s pelt.
–He gives her two magic rings.
–He gives her the entire key chain and warns her never to open the door to one room in particular which is locked every night and in which he leaves his abandoned pelt before going to the garden to speak with the fairy which cast a spell on him
–The specter of War needs to hover in the evil atmosphere of Beauty’s village
–The castle exists in the center of a labyrinth of trees
Del Toro wanted to invent motivational propaganda for the film’s war against alien invaders. Keith Thompson’s poster design, infused with Russian Futurist motifs, followed del Toro’s original direction but was eventually abandoned in favor of a different approach.
GDT: I like Soviet and Eastern European propaganda that is very graphic. And for Pacific Rim, we decided to explore a lot of World War II references since we wanted to convey the nobility of the wartime effort in the film. So we designed bomber nose art, uniforms, and propaganda posters, although we didn’t use this one [above] in the end.
