Castles, Keeps & Country Houses

 

This series for ITV1 featured many famous houses and stately homes of the Midlands. Presented by Emma, Duchess of Rutland the programmes focused on the history, folklore and stories surrounding the individual houses which lent them a domestic scale and an intimate view.

Bottletop was commissioned to produce titles and digital effects for the series. Many reconstructed scenes were digitally created from footage shot on location which would otherwise have been impossible to reproduce – Belvoir Castle burning to the ground and poltergeist activity to name but two.

3D modelling and animation was also used to illustrate how buildings have changed over time.
