Established in a short animated title sequence, this approach would then feature throughout the film including several chapter headings and captions.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing upon shapes and patterns evident in the architecture, these geometric building blocks are set out on a grid system and animated in a stop frame style to fragment and rebuild images and text.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the graphics, I also designed and created a vast library of textures and split screen layouts, all based on the same grid system, and often including the same geometric designs, to complement and in repsonse to the archive material.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Client<\/h6>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 1px;\">ILLUMINATIONS \u2022 BBC4<\/h3>\n<h6>Title<\/h6>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 1px;\">COVENTRY CATHEDRAL:<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 1px;\">BUILDING FOR A NEW BRITAIN<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For full programme on iPlayer click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m000wvm3\/coventry-cathedral-building-for-a-new-britain\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/557542760&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/563565363&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;5502,5503,5504,5505,5506,5602,5603,5604,5507,5493,5593,5583,5584,5586,5585,5582,5494,5495,5605,5587,5588,5589,5510,5496,5607,5600,5601,5606,5511,5512,5590,5591,5592,5498,5499,5595,5594,5596,5500,5501,5599,5598,5597&#8243; img_size=&#8221;750&#215;422&#8243; speed=&#8221;2000&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;yes&#8221; hide_pagination_control=&#8221;yes&#8221; hide_prev_next_buttons=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; row_top_spacing=&#8221;1&#8243; row_bottom_spacing=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623486334388{padding-left: px !important;}&#8221;] SHE&#8217;S SO MODERN-IST &nbsp; Illuminations asked me to collaborate with them on this feature length documentary Coventry Cathedral: Building for a New Britain.
