STYLE BOARD: AARON RUELL PHOTOGRAPHY

Remember Napoleon Dynamite?! Remember everyone and their moms rockin’ the infamous “VOTE FOR PEDRO” T-Shirts and quoting him…..endlessly? Although I liked the movie and while I found Kip and LaFawnduh’s relationship funnier and far more interesting than Napoleon and Pedro’s, couple things stood out to me more, aesthetics and design.

Opening title sequence and I was hooked. It was weird and quirky but the style was clean with the right amount of American commercialism. I loved the style of the set design too; 1970s by old-fashioned commercialism. Not gonna lie, I focused more on the loud colors and drab textures than the actual dialogue. Good stuff. It was done right. I have a fond appreciation for those  who don’t try too hard or at least, make it look easy. Meet Aaron Ruell, photographer and director. Also known as, Lawfunduh’s boyfriend and Napoleon’s brother, Kip. Meet the guy who did all the promo shots for said movie, he had the classy lines anyway.

Here are some of my favorites..check out the Ice Cream one below!
