Noel
Fielding's Luxury Comedy
(Nigel
Coan, 2012)
From
the childlike imagination of Noel Fielding, comes the mixture of live
action and animation that is, Luxury Comedy. The sets are created
from what looks like the contents of a child's craft set; reflective
card, glitter, felt tip pens, crayon, sparkly fabrics, sequins,
feathers, etc. It's an extravagant mixture of exaggerated textures
and surfaces, for example, creases are painted onto fabrics. It is
psychedelic and over the top and props are created from the most
normal of objects, making them very abnormal in the process. Beards
created from pencil crayons, facial features made from plastic cups.
Make up and face paint are used in an exaggerated manner too. The
whole feel of the programme is colourful and bizarre, a neon,
geometric world.
