Oh Holy Night

Classic Hollyoaks, a big sequence cut to music where we see several characters and their situations playing against the mood of the Christmas season. Watch it full screen to see the glass detail!

I wanted to avoid cliches like advent calendar motifs, but I liked the idea of looking in from the outside. The amazing Simon Cox, VFX at Lime, created sheets of glass for the shot to travel through, from a grubby prison cell to a family at home and even through the windscreen of a police car at a murder scene. On its own, it's a little arch—but a heightened reality show like a soap occupies that territory with no apology!
