Immersive Experiences

I enjoy creating storylines and visitor journeys, through places already resonating with history, or inside a ‘black box’ transformed by scenics, graphics, sound and light into a theatrical, imaginary space

2023 - Shortlisted

for

Museums & Heritage Partnership of the Year

May 878 AD - Anglo-Saxon Winchester awaits news of a decisive battle between King Alfred and the Vikings.

We hear the everyday stories of anxious inhabitants, set against Winchester cityscapes from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

I wrote and developed scripts/ storylines for the intro and outdo videos

Scripted 12 Anglo-Saxon characters for live performance, working with a team of multi-disciplinary experts

Developed the visitor’s journey/ exhibition content in collaboration with client and the Sarner Production team

Historic Bodmin Jail in Cornwall has been transformed into a world-class visitor attraction. It features a brand new ‘Dark Walk’ and an immersive exhibition.

Using scenics, special effects and multi-screen projections we reveal Cornwall’s murky past and bring to life the wretched experience of inmates from the 18th and 19th Centuries.

I developed the original concept and storylines for the

‘Dark Walk’, researching characters and historical events featured in each zone.

I was part of Sarner’s Creative team defining the Visitor’s Journey, the core audiovisual sequences and the content of the Exhibition.

Calvados Experience

Client: Sarner International for Spirit France

Trip Advisor - Travellers Choice

The Calvados region is renowned for its traditional Apple Brandy, the Spirit of Normandy. On the site of one of the most famous brands, Pere Magloire, we created a Visitor’s Centre and tasting experience.

Visitors follow the Apple’s magical journey from the orchards, through distillation to the ageing cellars and the final blending.

I developed the Visitors’ Journey/ storyline, researched and wrote all the scripts, directed most of the multi-projector films and liaised in French with the local teams during several years of development.
