Walter Crane and the Kelmscott Press
Creative Direction, Videography, Editing
Walter Crane, a prominent English illustrator, made significant contributions to the Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris in the late 19th century. Crane's intricate and detailed illustrations adorned many of the Kelmscott Press's renowned publications, including works by Chaucer and Shakespeare. Drawing inspiration from medieval manuscripts and incorporating elements of naturalistic and decorative art, Crane's illustrations complemented the Kelmscott Press's ethos of reviving traditional craftsmanship and aesthetics.
To promote Kelmscott Press Day, I collaborated with the library’s communication team, librarians, and conservators to make a series of videos about the Kelmscott Press. The communications team and I planned and executed a b-roll shoot, showcasing elements of the the collection, and then we filmed a series of interviews with subject matter experts about the Kelmscott Press.
