Magna Carta
House Of JJD were commissioned by Hawkwood International to shoot, co-direct and create two short films to provide context & tell the narrative behind the creation of the Magna Carta. The films were utilised as part of a World Touring educational exhibit featuring the actual founding document as its centrepiece.
Shot over two days and starring Andy Serkis, House of JJD then had to provide all post, including the creation of the virtual sets, all keying & roto, vfx, editing & sound design.
