'Dazed Digital' previewed artist/director Marco Brambilla's
latest crowd pleaser, Evolution. Like his
2008 installation at New York City's Standard Hotel,
Civilization, classic film clips are married in a
narrative of epic scope.
Says Brambilla to Dazed Digital, "I wanted to superimpose pop
culture onto a historic and deeply human theme. Evolution
deals with the history of mankind and the kind of purging and
re-purging of humanity throughout history. …"

Basel's crowd gathered for the first-of-its-kind art installation's
premiere at The Standard in Miami.

Tonight is the night that all Coronation Street fans have been
waiting for... a dramatic tram crash hits the famous cobbles and
promises life for the residents of Weatherfield will never be the
same again!
Our Mill TV team worked on 18 shots from tonight's explosive
episode, which marks the start of a special week of programming to
celebrate the soap's 50th Anniversary that also includes a live
episode.
Will Cohen, The Mill's Visual Effects Producer said: "It
was an absolute honour and a thrill for us to have been involved in
such an iconic TV event for Britain's longest running and much
loved show. I'm sure the scene will go down in television
history and if we've done our jobs right, hopefully the viewer
won't even be able to tell we've been there."
See if you can spot the shots by tuning into Coronation
Street tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1 and check back here
tomorrow to find out how we brought our VFX magic to the
Street.
