BBC Proms
The BBC Proms is the world’s greatest classical music festival.
The giant canvas is like a blank colouring book exhibiting the Royal Albert Hall.
The iconic sounds of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony builds the pace and drama as gradually people gather to paint an image of fantastic colour, vibrancy and energy.
There's a sense of a joyful event and a shared love of music.
Time-lapse photography was shot using a motion control rig on location, multiple passes were shot at different frame rates and then composited in post -production. (See VFX breakdown below).
