Comic Book Style Filming Locations
With vivid colours and clean, cartoon-like lines, some of our filming locations look like they've dropped straight out of an illustration. Primary colours, patterns and bold shapes are all part of comic book art; designed to be eye-catching and cinematic, each panel is carefully framed to tell a dynamic story. Here's a few locations that wouldn't look out of place in a graphic novel.

Since their conception, comics have had a seismic impact on modern culture, their mass appeal permeating everything from movies to animation to high art. The Yellow Kid (1895) is one of the first examples of a comic strip - author Richard F. Outcault popularised the basic layout and use of speech bubbles, and set the action against a gritty New York backdrop. The city would later produce greats such as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, who based their stories among the smoky streets, graffiti and high-rise blocks that have become synonymous with the genre.

Originally, comics were only printed in colour on Sundays, as the process of overlaying etched metal plates to create a spectrum of colour was costly and slow. Instead of mixing colours, halftone dots were used to simulate tones, a process later made famous by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, and more recently used to evoke the classic comic book style in the animated Spiderverse films. The graphic style of comic books is mirrored in these locations, from eye-catching, geometric colour to sprawling cityscapes and skyscrapers.
