London Bus-Tops caught my attention after watching a  YouTube  promo video and I thought to myself “I can do that, that’s right up my alley”. I immediately stopped working on an on-going student film poster project called ChitChatClick in order to get my work onto a Bus-Top in-time for the 2012 Olympic Games, which was the drive behind my motivation. While studying Digital Arts at university I crudely created my first 2D animated music video called Rat Radar that’s been described as ‘Gorillaz’ after the  stylized  fictional cartoon band. It was unfulfilled in terms of potential and I instantly knew the characteristics and visual language would compliment the Bus-Tops requirements to a tea!

There are 30 red and black LED screens dotted around London, on the roofs of bus shelters. creating a new exhibition space for the public and Public Arts to the build up to the London Olympic Games. Synopsis behind the vision: Cheese is used to bait rats. Is the moon made of cheese? No, that’s just a silly fable but giant space rats do rule over the lunar surface. The only dominant life form from the dark side of the barren rock. As the Tetris Space Shuttle blasts into orbit through the moody midnight sky, shooting stars signals the beginning of the Moon Rats decent to planet Earth below, a never ending alien invasion. One small step for man, one giant leap for space rats! The workflow included Flash 8, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 and Adobe After Effects 7.0. Unfortunately the L.E.D screen...
