Cambridge Spies (2003)

Concept and creative process

For 'Cambridge Spies' the brief was to create a sequence that featured the four main characters and hinted at their covert activity using codes. I was supplied with one photograph of the actors in character to work from - there was no time to film them for the titles! Columns of changing codes were created in the digital edit suite and the photo was digitally cut up to allow each face to emerge from the coding - the main title clicked through, as if being typed.

Designer/Director - Christine Buttner (now Green).

Nominated for a BAFTA Craft Award for Graphic Design 2004.
