Bafta Guru

In January 2016, BAFTA 195 was lit up with images of leading actors and directors of British film and television as part of Lumiere London’s festival of light. Here the people behind the exhibition discuss it's inspiration and realisation on the façade of BAFTA's iconic HQ. Award-winning Newcastle upon Tyne-based creative studio NOVAK, who specialise in motion design and immersive experiences, created the projected exhibition using images from BAFTA’s photography archive. Inspired by the the origins of 195 Piccadilly as the home of the Royal Society of Watercolour Painters, the animation was accompanied by a striking soundtrack created by Ed Carter and based on the classic sounds that helped define the genres of film and television. Featuring: audio producer and composer Ed Carter; Studio Director of NOVAK Adam Finlay; Head of Facilities at 195 Piccadilly, Pauline Campbell; and Director of Archive, Heritage and Exhibition at BAFTA, Rebekah Polding.
