A century ago, the plight of those returning from battle was answered by Glasgow University’s surgeon Sir William Macewen and Princess Louise, Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter. Together, they established Erskine Hospital which has cared for more than 85,000 veterans and led the way in treatment and rehabilitation. With assistance from Clydeside shipbuilders, early residents became experts in making their own artificial limbs. The BBC delves into Erskine’s archives to tell the story of the people who live and work there.
To compliment the documentary, we created the title card, graphic sequences and rostrums using 3D depth maps, displacement filters and chromatic aberration.
