BBC VJ-Day 75Motion design | Animation
In the final televised BBC event to mark the 75th anniversary of VJ-Day, Joanna Lumley was joined by a host of star to commemorate the conclusion of the Second World War. Working with Kate Dawkins Studio, I was an animation team lead, creating a series of VTs telling the stories of VJ-Day through archive material, motion graphics, text and collage. A physically challenging environment, the visual storytelling needed to work with the colossal scale (227 metres x 36 metres) and intricate architectural structure of The Old Admiralty, Horse Guards and Dover House buildings.
