Whats the word on using older footage,pictures or sound related to the person . The family has some unique media we could use, but would more likely would need to use different resources that are available outside the family. More likely will also talk to an attorney this week, but like to get some input from filmmakers here who may have used that type of media before /Thanks for any input

]]> "If it's purple, someones gonna die" - a useful guide to cinematic colour use http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/16765/if-its-purple-someones-gonna-die-a-useful-guide-to-cinematic-colour-use Wed, 19 Apr 2017 07:03:09 +0000 andyharris 16765@/talks/discussions I bought this book and read it over the weekend:

https://designvisualuff.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/if-its-purple-someones-gonna-diethe-power-of-color-in-visual-storytelling-2005.pdf

It's a useful guide to why colours are chosen, and, how they have worked their way into our visual literacy. It reads easily and one can easily see the points raised in the context of each film discussed.

Putting that new knowledge into practice seems way more difficult, since you'll find orange and green used in many different ways - context is everything (probably).

I would say the PDF is well worth a glance over a cuppa.
