Paddington bear: world premiere

It was a delight to be able to welcome our favourite bear onto Leicester Square with friends, including Michael Bond and Nicole Kidman, on a rainy Sunday afternoon for the World Premiere of Paddington Bear in 2014.

Working as the technical director of HEART Productions, on behalf of STUDIOCANAL, I managed the design development, production and installation of the red carpet event, which flanked the East and North terraces of Leicester Square for a premiere at the Odeon Cinema.

Forming an iconic press shot was oversized marmalade jars and jam, which was well received by picture desks and even included temporary adoption into the BBC News homepage.

A detailed mock up of Paddington Station's Lost and Found formed the backdrop of the CCTV presentation, hosted by Jenni Falconer.
