Whenever a comic convention comes around, Adam Savage creates an awesome cosplay assembly to sty incognito among the crowd. This one he put together for the Silicon Valley Comic-Con (via Tested), and this video has him working with fabricator Kayte Sabicer to create this Star-Lord costume inspired by the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Director Wes Anderson has an instantly recognizable visual style. A lot of it comes from his production sign, but there's also a significant portion that comes from how he chooses to shoot his films.
