1995 logo


I have slipped...

September - Perhaps the most stunning of the 1995 images, "Pegasus" was a marriage of traditional techniques and computer imaging. First, a pure-bred Arab stallion, specially trained to walk on its hind legs, was photographed in the studio. Secondly, a set of model wings was photographed separately. Finally, the two were merged during long hours over a computer screen somewhere in London's Docklands. In the absence of any real-life reference material on flying horses, arguments raged about the size of the wings and the shape of the wing muscles to give the animal a look of authenticity. To parody the Superman movies: "you'll believe a horse can fly".
