Moodboard Monday: Action Icons

Velocity, Grit & Screen Swagger

This week, we’re chasing chasing adrenaline. Our action icons moodboard pays homage to the cinematic archetypes who move through chaos with style, precision and mythic cool. From desert-dusted rebels to neon-lit vigilantes, these frames aren’t just explosive – they’re iconic.

Visual Language

  • Textures – Leather, chrome, smoke trails, shattered glass
  • Colour palette – Gunmetal grey, scorched orange, blood red, neon cyan
  • Styling cues – Tactical gear, wind-whipped hair, silhouetted stances, bruised elegance
  • Frame composition – Wide shots with looming tension, close-ups that crackle with intent.

Featured Films

  • Mad Max: Fury Road – Dust storms, war rigs and Furiosa’s gaze
  • The Matrix – Bullet time ballet and trench coat philosophy.
  • Kill Bill Vol 1 – The Bride’s Vengeance in yellow and deadly silence
