The Petard Pinch
Award: Yellow Pencil
Yellow Pencil / Graphic Design / Moving Image (Graphic Design) / 2016
The film was commissioned by Bletchley Park as part of a new permanent exhibition at the museum, home of the WW2 codebreakers.
On HMS Petard, amidst battle, three men acted with bravery and courage, in the process capturing vital Nazi documents and secret codebooks that helped Bletchley Park to crack the enigma code, and ultimately help win the war.
With a graphic style inspired by British WW2 illustrators, the film employs a mixed-media approach to bring events to life. Close attention was made to ensure period details & artifacts were historically accurate, whilst creating a modern feel.
