Celebrating 125 Years of London Tower Bridge

Role: Video Designer and Video Engineer

Projection mapping the inside of one of the Bascule Chambers at London Tower Bridge. The Bascule Chambers are set underwater, providing the space for the bridge to open and close.

This piece is celebrating and documenting the past 125 years of the bridge, for the 125th Anniversary.

Assets were gathered from the past 125 years of the bridge, from the drawing blueprints to the 2012 Olympics. A majority of the assets was given from the Tower Bridge archive.
