The Editburgh project involved a telephone hotline that people could use to propose ideas for Public sculpture, monuments, architectural changes or anything that involved changing Edinburgh.

Using Hollywood special effects software, I set about realising these public proposals as large prints and a DVD/slideshow that was narrated by the hotline phone messages figureheaded by a 3D computer animated talking dog character ‘Greyfriars Bobby’ a local hero native to Scotland.

The other part of the project was adding special effects to the regional news program ‘Scotland Today’, this was then re-broadcast on the night of the private view all round Europe on the satellite TV channel ‘Open access’ (channel 687). These films are still being broadcast through out December.
