IM:Likemanycampaigns thisone startedby brainstorming themessagesand then thinkingabout locations tomatch them.For example:“The secret’sout”for theMI6 shot or“Built to last”forEdinburghcastle.The slogan“You knowwhereyouare”alsohas thedoublemeaningof locationand reliability.

It isbattery poweredand thecontroller takes the image anddisplays it inone200pixelhighvertical sliceata time.Our“knowwhereyouare message” is200pixelsby1500pixelsand takesabout9.5 seconds todisplayall1500 slices.

Lighting is also key, did you know that the creator of the Angel of theNorth stipulated that it should never be lit. Thismeant that the team had to rely on just the right level of light pollution to create a silhouette. Filmingwas carried out at all hours of the night, sometimes in finger-numbing cold conditions, EdinburghCastle and again theAngel of theNorth sprang tomind here. Filming at the various locations alsomeant that the teamwere exposed to the vagaries of the general public and, on one occasion, in spite of having the relevant permission, a brushwith the authorities,with the threat of incarceration being a good incentive to “move on”.
