In this Lunchtime Talk, Studio Resident and Video Design Director Reuben Armstrong takes us inside the making of his bold new documentary about blind runner and punk frontman Phil Harrison as he trains for his first London marathon.
Reuben will break down how his eclectic creative approach rooted in animation, design, and a love of unorthodox visual techniques—led to the film’s immersive, bespoke camera setups that let us see the world from Phil’s perspective. He’ll share the collaborative process, the experimentation, and the craft that drive his work.
The project supports RNIB, the UK’s leading sight loss charity.
