Gunpowder Siege dramatically reimagines the most infamous rebellion plot in British history, shattering the myths to reveal the largely forgotten, gripping truth behind the Gunpowder Plot. Prepare to see the story you thought you knew – blown wide open.
Moonraker were approached by Lightbox and Sky History to conceive and deliver a show open for Gunpowder Siege. Working closely with the team at Lightbox enabled us to turn the project around in a few short weeks, from concept to delivery. We had a blast bringing it to life! Catch it on Sky History now.
Our title treatment draws inspiration from iconic imagery within the story, viewed through the distortion of prismatic lens effects. Graphic compositions ignite and illuminate the narrative’s central themes of persecution, danger, and violence.
