Stanley Kubrick Sure Enjoyed the One-Point Perspective [Video]

Say what you want about Stanley Kubrick, but the man certainly had a certain visual style. Part of his obsessive visual panache was the consistent repetitive use of the one-point perspective. Essentially, the one-point perspective is a manner in which three-dimensional objects can be represented in an image by having intersecting vertical and horizontal lines radiating from a single point. Though you might not know it, you’ve seen this particular perspective over and over again in a myriad of ways. Over on Vimeo, user kogonada has spliced together a short video highlighting Kubrick’s love for it.

    Stanley Kubrick is by far my favorite director, and this video is fantastic. I would have gone with something a little more classical in terms of music, rather than this overused track, but it’s beautiful nonetheless.

    I wish I could ask the guy who he felt influenced him in terms of visual style. He clearly has some Diane Arbus in there, though they were relatively contemporary. Kubrick even seemed to tip his hat to her in The Shining.

    Anyway, please, more Kubrick stuff. MOAR. MOAAAAAAR.
