This is my fully monochrome exhibition layout, 'BRIEF ENCOUNTER, based on the iconic British film directed by David Lean and set around a chance romantic meeting at a railway station. I really wanted to recreate that vintage black and white film effect - to do that I ended up using 32 shades of grey! In my video I also show the layout at build stage and some of the problems and solutions I had to overcome along the way, including how to feature as many well known aspects and scenes from the film as I could. The layout is 11ft x 2ft and includes a fully-working 1940s cinema playing the film. I also share some fascinating facts about the making of the film. I hope you get our quirky British humour

Fun fact for you.

Brief Encounter was filmed at Carnforth Railway station in Feb 1945, it took 11 days to shoot, and was filmed there and not in London because of continued fear of the V2 rockets.
