A MUSEUM EXHIBITION PIECE CHRONICLING THE HISTORY OF ABINGTON ESTATE IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

CLIENT

Vertigo are an integrated agency, specialising in design, branding, museums and exhibitions.

BRIEF

Vertigo came to us in search of an animation that could weave together the history of Abington Estate and place it within the context of changes in the surrounding county. The film would form part of an exhibition at Abington Museum.

RESULTS

The animation is an entertaining, historically accurate short film that is now a firm favourite of adults and children alike in Abington Museum’s latest exhibition

CREDITS

Produced by: Vertigo
Script: Abington Museum

THE PROCESS

We worked closely with both Vertigo Creative and Abington Museum to design historical characters and environments in a style that was appealing to visitors of all ages, but retained a sense of the long history of the estate. We discussed in depth how events unfolded and how social and political changes in England, and specifically Northamptonshire, affected Abington Estate.
