canted

With its candy colors, canted camera angles and sound-effects balloons, the original series was witty, funny, parodic, satirical, deceptively smart and knowingly dumb and also a legitimate adventure story.

It is recognised for its stone mullions, canted bay windows, and recessed entrance.

With its rapid-fire deadpan dialogue, low canted angles, detached, ironic violence and kooky transitional wipes, it feels self-consciously retro, even if it was, at one time, intended to be contemporary.

One cut they made to help stanch the ballooning budget was to scrap an entire set planned to be canted at a three-degree angle, instead sticking to two other sets: a level one for pre-iceberg scenes and a second one tilted at six degrees to replicate the sinking of the ship.
