The Creativity staff compiled a Winners database from seven shows: ADC, AICP, ANDYS, Asia AdFest, Cannes, Clio, D&AD, and One Show.

Daring,

Virtual History The Secret Plot to Kill Hitler Commissioned by the Discovery Channel to launch a new genre of history program. Virtual History uses CGI technology to re create moments in history that where never captured on film. The first program was about a secret plot to kill Hitler during the second world war. Portraits of Winston Churchill and Adolph Hitler where created referencing the classic fashion studio shoot used by Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein. These portraits looked sexy, contemporary and aimed to shock and confront the viewer with an image that was difficult to place. It raised questions and started a debate around the ethics of using digital technology to manipulate history. This project was created whilst working at Boymeetsgirl. The images below where used as double page press ads in all the Sunday broad sheets and as large format building banners.
