M&S Xmas

Client: M&S
Project: M&S Christmas
Director: Autumn de Wilde
P/C: James Waters
Designer: James Hamilton
A large scale festive extravaganza for the 2022 M&S Christmas campaign.
The piece is inspired by the golden era of Hollywood, with multiple sets designed and built by us to facilitate a 60-second TV spot.
This included a large scale London street scene with scenic painted backdrop, engineering a top opening train set, a geometric art deco set that takes its cue from the works of Busby Berkeley, complete with a podium for that dizzying synchronised dance troupe. There are neon runways, disappearing pubs and of course a partridge in a pear tree! All dripping with both cinematic and classic nostalgic Xmas energy.
