martyn pick - 'the siege' - moodboard
These images are moodboard designs for a film based around the true story of a Russian terrorist cell in Londons East End a hundred years ago.
It develops the distinctive painterly fusion of the drawn, digital and photographic that Martyn Pick has explored in his commercials, promos and short films. With a use of painterly textures and atmospheric lighting, filmed actors will perform in digitally artworked environments.
This hyperreal magical feel will be perfect for what is going to be a fable set in a true historical setting. It dramatises the emotions of the current war on terror in what feels like an adult fairy tale.
The unfamiliarity of epic gunbattles, Russian gangsters, female assasins and political terrorism on the streets of Edwardian London gives the film a surreal quality which illuminates a period in British history that has long been ignored.
We come to know these people and how they are driven to such extreme acts without ever whitewashing the effects of their violence.
