ZANUSSI 'SATELLITE' INTERACTIVE

Marcus's first major directing project, this clip is the 'attract mode' from a ground-breaking interactive point-of-sale information terminal. Started in 1988 the project was hugely complex featuring all specifications of all Zanussi products, plus animations and feature explinations, , and was eventually rewarded with the European Muliti-Media Award. The interactive production had vast amounts of information and featured every Zanussi product. David Barker produced the film and was also designer of the highly complex 'under-the-bonnet' structure. The graphics show their age but the live action still holds it own!
