Spacewalk for the Hayward

Grennan & Sperandio have created a new 3 1/2 minute animated film for the Hayward Gallery's Waterloo Sunset, featuring skateboarders who skate the Undercroft at the South Bank Centre _ one of oldest and most iconic skate sites in the UK.


A still from Spacewalk_sk8ing The Undercroft.

Spacewalk _ Sk8ing The Undercroft focuses on 'hard-to-perfect' classic skate tricks and makes use of a cunning mix of real-time video, rotoscoping, classic cell animation and 2D puppeting. The artists also created new midi versions of tunes from famous Giuseppe Verdi operas as the film's dominant electronic audio.

On view April 6 - October 6, 2004.
