ANIMATED FEED: SEVEN SEVEN - Georgina Ferguson and Eduarda Lima

SEVEN SEVEN from Georgina Ferguson on Vimeo.

An animation telling my story of the London bombings.

Direction, Design and Animation: Georgina Ferguson and Eduarda Lima . Sound and Music: Philippe Lenzini.

On July 7th 2005 I was one of the Londoners involved in the King’s Cross bombings. That morning I found myself on the carriage behind the one that was bombed, in which 26 people lost their lives.

I have never publicly spoken about what happened that day. Nor do a lot of my friends know that I was even involved. A year ago I realised that it was going to be the 10 year anniversary this July and decided that this would be a good time to share my experience. I am no wordsmith so I thought it might be best to use animation to communicate my story; as a motion graphic designer this felt most appropriate to me.

This is my story of Seven Seven, and how a stranger’s kindness helped me get out and start to move on. I never asked my guardian angel’s name, something I regret as I’ve never been able to really thank him. This animation is my way of giving them thanks - I really hope it can reach him.

For me, this film is about more than just personal catharsis and sharing an experience. Its about an act of remembrance, tribute and gratitude...
