EXTENDED: 1960S and 70s inspiration

The Atrocity Exhibition was published in 1970, because of this we are trying to achieve a retro look with stock photos and footage from the 60s and earlier. Some of the main themes of the book include automobiles and automobile accidents, cold war paranoia, media saturation, and the main character's increasing mental illness. Many pop-culture and political figures crop up repeatedly throughout the story including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy & Jackie O.

We have decided to go with a video-collage sort of style, inspired in part by the collages of Robert Rauschenberg and Ray Johnson. This way we can mix up stock imagery and footage with hand drawn or painted animation.
