The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Just searching around Youtube for clips of some of the films I mentioned in my previous post on the visual universe of Alphanaut. I found a trailer for a restored version of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" which has been colorized accompanied by the music from "In the Hall of the Mountain King". I love the set pieces with their forced use of perspective and skewed angles.

Again, this movie doesn't directly relate to the art direction I was going for with "Out of Orbit". Just thought it would be cool to share.



I also ran across a trailer for a modernized retelling of the Caligari directed by David Lee Fisher. The 2005 movie incorporates scenes voiced by current actors and shot against green screen which are then composited into the original footage. I vaguely remember hearing about this project years ago though I don't no if it ever made it to the theaters here in Los Angeles.



I put this version in my Netflix que and I'll have to see how the experiment worked.
