Ken Averill on Christopher Glass

Released: Involves an finish., Feb. 3, 2012, 4:00am PTBy AverillKen Averill on Christopher Glass, production designer, Jim Beam "Parallels"In "Parallels," Christopher Glass carries the emotional tone of one other era to the present along with his keen style, his apparent understanding of concept, as well as the seamless relationship he evolves together. Reflecting both importance in the period as well as the imperative of what's at risk, your choice is built to shoot the area in black and white-colored -- which clearly always presents challenging for just about any designer. Sets that could produce a strong visual impact colored can easily fall flat in monochrome due to the similarity inside the tonal price of the shades.Inside this place, that's not the problem. Like the hero available, Glass makes "bold options" that "enable you to get what your location is stated to become.InchViewpoint and position of vision will be the driving forces behind both story and design. Glass knows it. Each set was produced with only enough symmetry to lend itself with the idea to a straight-on camera shot to worry duality, a treadmill that allows for just about any slow monitoring shot that moves using the scene.The smart options created within the look permit a quick read in the material they struggle to focus on the choice the hero must make by moving the viewer from varied shades of grey for the striking and effective usage of high-contrast black and white-colored. Visually stunning, the conclusion results of Glass' design draws the viewer straight into this graphic and impactful place.Ken Averill's credits include ads for AT&T, Budweiser, Pepsi and Ikea.ADG Honours 2012Tightening the definitionDesigners on designProduction designers and art company company directors discuss the ADG-nominated work from the peersJohn Muto on Dante Ferretti Greg Grande on Jefferson Sage Norm Newberry on Stuart Craig John Sabato on Patti Podesta Ken Averill on Christopher Glass John Shaffner on Steve Bass Dork Blass on Mark Worthington John Iacovelli on James Yarnell Contact the number newsroom at news@variety.com
