Science Museum – ‘Cable Shrinks the World’

Our short creative response to a brief set by the Science Museum, London. The brief was based on an upcoming exhibition at the museum titled, ‘Information Age’ – and more specifically required 6 historical stories animating. We chose to focus on the first of these, ‘Cable Shrinks the World’ – the story of the SS Great Eastern; the ship responsible for the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cables in 1866.

Big thanks to @iam_samjones for animating the concept super quickly!
