Heatherwick Studios & big - google london hq kings cross

The historic and contemporary virtues of Kings Cross are extolled in this architectural visualisation film for London Google employees in anticipation of their new HQ.

 

Working at Squint/Opera I brought to life the beautiful old paintings from the heyday of Kings Cross and used the same paralax techniques on the b&w photos showing the degradation and neglect of the 70's and 80's. I also created the animations of the illustrations by the marvelously talented Cristina Guitian (http://www.cristinaguitian.com/).
