End of The Street End of The Street

Director: Andy Martin

Year: 2008

With the weather increasingly at the forefront of our news and media together with the idea that someone somewhere has their hand on the volume knob, End of the Street takes the original 19th Century Beaufort Wind Force scale and conjures a response, incrementally turning up the strangeness.<br /> <br /> Poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan produced the poetry specially. His interpretation of the wind scale transposes the action into the familiar surroundings of an average street. Imagemaker Andy Martin produces a mix of animated graphics, 3D, live action, photography and typographics all underpinned with a bespoke score by composer Robert Worby.
