Britain from Above

The multiple series project and website told the stories of our country, its landscape and society through incredible aerial photography. From a bird’s eye view of the nation, its workings, cities, landscapes and peoples are revealed and re-discovered in new and extraordinary ways. Like a constantly moving machine - with its cogs and wheels permanently in motion or like a living animal with blood coursing through its veins and arteries - the way the country works is revealed from above in a uniquely compelling way. Britain From Above uses ground-breaking CGI and innovative approaches to aerial photography to present images and perspectives never seen before on television. The website will remain live for the following decade, enabling users to continue to enjoy and relive the series for years to come.
