Mark Bridges Present Golden Hollywood Age in 84th Annual Academy Awards

With "The Artist", a black-and-white silent film, Mark Bridges, reports that the golden age of Hollywood, is the climax of his fascination and from his wickedness. He was awarded an Oscar nomination for his work, his first, perhaps surprising, given his work on some of the most important films in the last 15 years.

The format in black and white gave the client director artist is a challenge, with flourishes and accent, as texture than traditional color.

Mark Bridges said that while the film was a "love letter to Hollywood" his costumes were inspired by a wide range of 1920 films, including Our Dancing Daughters, City Girl and Sunrise, who gave "emotional touchstones" for the wardrobe department.

But there was one film in particular, that the tone set for the costumes.

After collecting his Oscar, the winner revealed that he was inspired by the 'a great film called Show People starring Marion Davies, which was all shot on the back lot of MGM at the end of the Twenties' and said that the film provided 'great research.'

While the picture was filmed in colour, Mr Bridges said that the key to the sensationalism of black-and-white was making sure actors stood out from their surroundings.
