I surprisingly have a new found appreciation for, of all things, Napoleon Dynamite. Granted, it is a rather slow film and the humor is extremely dry, but the visuals for the opening credits are fresh and stunning. That is because Napoleon's own Aaron Ruell who played Kip did the photography for the movie. His subtle humor and attention to simplicity in color set the tone for the film and he uses similar elements in his own photographs and commercials. It's a very distinct kind of funny which taps into the drabber looks of the 70s and 80s and is saturated with such banal that you can't help but give a chuckle, just a little one. So be sure to give his portfolio a looksy, this guy has some great skills.
