Hugo Cabret. Trains, gears and magic

A set design for Hugo Cabret’s The Invention. From the novel of Brian Selznick to the film of Martin Scorsese to try and create a scenic design of a story set in Paris of the 1930s. The colors, the structures, the characters that inhabit this environment: each one is a small gear that makes the whole mechanism work. In this thesis the historical and geographic context of the novel and of the screenplay are analyzed. The films mentioned in the story, such as the works of the great pioneers of silent cinema such as R. Clair, H. Lloyd and others are also analyzed.

The result is an original theatrical project that still maintains a cinematographic flavor.
