This collaborative project, between the Barbican and Persistent Peril was based upon an article by Peter Ackroyd and presented a very fun and open brief.
Influenced by a video game esthetic, the film depicts the history of the Barbican area using colour to show the passing of time and development of man made structures.
The production is a mix of Cinema 4D, Flash and After Effects.
