Here is a bit of insight into the use of color in Monster Island from creator/writer/director Justin Michael. I made a few palettes to showcase their fantastic use of color and the clear parallel between the short and Toho monster films above. The color in the short is stunning and shows a clear attention to detail as well as clear inspiration from films like Godzilla vs. 99.9% stop-motion animation, 0.1% tiny live-action people! They also happen to be giant monsters imprisoned on an island. Take a trip to MONSTER ISLAND! Zog and Java are two best friends looking to throw the ultimate BBQ party.

To highlight the significance of color in films, UK-based designer Gaby Smith has come up with an interesting project called Cinema Palettes, that features color palettes derived from memorable scenes of famous movies. Teal and orange seem to be the trend in Hollywood nowadays, especially in movie adaptations of graphic novels and comic books. Sci-fi and cyborg films use shades of blue, grey, and green. Romantic comedies use pastel shades like beige, pink and lilac. Yellow was used in Kill Bill (2003) to depict Uma Thurman’s character’s madness and instability. Directors Lilly and Lana Wachowski used a green tint in The Matrix (1999) to create a mood palette that was suggestive of the early monochrome computer monitors. Color sets the tone and mood of a film before any of the actors have even uttered a word. ![]()
