While working at Saturn Visual Solutions, I got the chance to create a pre-show ident for Scott Cinemas. The idea was to make something that not only reminded people about cinema etiquette, but also encouraged them to head back to the foyer before the film started to purchase food and drinks.

I looked after both the motion and sound design on the project. On the visual side, I built a volumetric lighting rig that made the icons and text feel cinematic and dynamic, using After Effects with plugins like Element 3D and Particular. On the audio side, I mixed music, sound effects and voiceover into both stereo and 5.1 so it worked seamlessly in all auditoriums.

The finished advert was delivered as a digital cinema package and now plays before every feature at Scott Cinemas across the UK. It’s also been used on their social channels to promote the brand outside of the cinema.
