Pearl Quest

Our first theme park ride! Jason and I creative directed this ride at Framestore for Wanda Group.

The ride is in Qingdao, China and is based on an ancient legend about a young god called Nezha and his battle with the 4 dragons of the oceans.

It was a 3 year project, during which the team at Framestore designed all of the characters and environments, wrote the script, created many storyboards and pre-vis iterations, commissioned the original musical score and sound effects, and created all of the animation and VFX.

The Time Portal

This was a surprise project… Some people came to our time machine show in our garage all those years ago, years later they work at an agency and want to replicate the show for a larger audience to promote Stella Artois’ sponsorship of the the Wimbledon tournament. So they asked us if we could that.

We said sure (but this time got to collaborate with the immersive theater company Les Enfants Terribles to make this happen). It was quite a huge task to plan our an immersive experience that runs across multiple builds on multiple floors with timed audiences that think they are the only group in the show. It was all themed around a whimsical version of old London, with a blend of real and fiction characters including Jack the Ripper, Scrooge, Faggin, Queen Victoria and a whole host of circus performers, street traders and mischievous young scamps.
