Restoring Britain's Landmarks
A series of illustrations and CGI animations for a Landmark Trust documentary series, following the restoration of two major properties, Belmont and St Edward's Presbytery, and guiding viewers around locations across the UK.
The Brief
Restoring Britain's Landmarks followed the Trust's two major restorations, delving into the history behind some of Britain's most remarkable buildings. This was the first time the Landmark Trust let cameras behind the scenes to capture the extraordinary work involved in ensuring at risk buildings aren't lost forever.
What CUMI Created
CUMI won the pitch to create a series of illustrations and animations to bring the restoration processes to life and guide the viewer around a number of locations across the UK.
Process & Approach
Some of the main sequences required CUMI to build a CGI model of two properties, then texture them so they read as illustrations coming to life on screen.
