Mad Max: Fury Road has a very clear color theme: red. And orange. And that’s just about it. That’s why this moment in the film stuck out to me. Our main characters have just made it to the green place, (spoiler alert) an irradiated wasteland with a number of mutated creatures and many crows. It’s the clearest change to the color theme in the whole movie, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it becomes a collection of blues, which are as far from orange on the color wheel as you can go. That change is a turning point in the movie. For one character, Furiosa, it’s coming full circle, back to where she was taken from as a child. It’s also where they finally have some time where there isn’t anyone directly on their tail.
I used a combination of blue, black and purple watercolor for the sky, ground and creatures. The trees, outlines and the truck were done in black pen. – Liam Miller Castles
I made this collage in response to Mad Mad: Fury Road. In the film, the earth has been destroyed and multiple characters pose the question, “Who killed the world?” After watching the film, I believe people in power have damaged the world the most, and those people have historically been male. This collage represents the world being controlled and simultaneously destroyed by men in power. The woman in the middle represents mother earth dying. – Linnea Anderson
For my AR, I used Comic Life3 to take stills from the movie in order to make a comic of an abbreviated scene in Mad Max. I chose to do a comic because it’s not something I usually gravitate towards. I chose this particular scene because the frames weren’t overly packed, and the colors stood out more than a darker palette. – Anna Field
