We were asked by Alton Towers to produce a short promotional video to mark the opening of the resort’s newest accommodation, the Stargazing Pods. Against a tight deadline Bottletop storyboarded the sequence which tells the story of the 15th Earl of Shrewsbury who viewed a constellation through his telescope and made the decision to create the estate we know today as Alton Towers. In the present day a young couple use one of the stargazing telescopes to view constellations in the sky which represent Alton Towers’ famous rides and attractions. Bottletop shot, edited and added visual effects to complete the video which encourages visitors to stay overnight, or for a short break, in the Stargazing Pods – inspiring families to embrace the great outdoors.
