  Creative geography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creative geography is a filmmaking technique invented by the early Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov sometime around the 1920s.
Creative geography is used constantly in film and television, for instance when a character walks through the front door of a house shown from the outside, to emerge into a soundstage of the house's interior.
The least-subtle example of creative geography is probably Doctor Who's TARDIS, which looks like a police call box on the outside but is a tremendous space ship on the inside.

 "The Rise of the Creative Class" by Richard Florida
This composite indicator is a better measure of a region's underlying creative capabilities than the simple measure of the creative class, because it reflects the joint effects of its concentration and of innovative economic outcomes.
In 1999, the average salary for a member of the creative class was nearly $50,000 ($48,752), compared to roughly $28,000 for a working-class member and $22,000 for a service-class worker.
The members of the creative class are diverse across the dimensions of age, ethnicity and race, marital status, and sexual preference.

 "The Rise of the Creative Class" by Richard Florida
The creative class now includes some 38.3 million Americans, roughly 30 percent of the entire U.S. workforce---up from just 10 percent at the turn of the 20th century and less than 20 percent as recently as 1980.
Creative centers also tend to be places with thick labor markets that can fulfill the employment needs of members of the creative class, who, by and large, are not looking just for "a job" but for places that offer many employment opportunities.
That's because location choices of the creative class are based to a large degree on their lifestyle interests, and these go well beyond the standard "quality-of-life" amenities that most experts think are important.

As for creative anatomy, that is accomplished with the use of stunt doubles and stand-ins.
