My first graphics production job with Creative digital Assembly in Battersea was on a Channel 4 production with T.S.I. called 'The Naked Planet'. Described as 'rock porn' by one of the directors it was a series that looked at six major geological features and described their formation using both filmed material and graphics. over the 12 week production period we made the Dead Sea sink into the great rift valley, Uluru in Australia was formed from alluvial plains battered from an ancient mountain range and we reconstructed Mount Kilimanjero from a 3m square survey map that we scanned and painstakingly followed each contour line. We also followed the erosion of the Grand Canyon as the underlying land was uplifted by the subducting Pacific Ocean plate and tipped the water between the great lakes to carve the channel where the Niagra falls now lie.
After that we also worked on Iain Sinclair and Chris Petit's film for the channel 'Asylum', as the team had already worked on the previous installment 'The Falconer'. We produced several sequences that were used within the film as well as edited into a seperate piece by Dave Mckean. Some clips from Asylum can be see on the Arts Council page.
At Shroom, we were asked to provide Emily James with graphics and archive for her film 'The Luckiest Nut in the World!' and and subsequently were involved in writing and design, producing the sets and titles for her puppet hosted magazine series 'Don't Worry'. As a result of these involvements, we were able to to successfully pitch and produce 'TERRA 2050' as well as be involved in several other projects with the channel.
