Danny Gray founded Warpaint, went up against the Dragons in the Den and lives with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. From his own experiences of dealing with a mental health disorder he decided to confront it by creating a mental health resource that would help anyone in the UK. He contracted Here in the Room - the experts behind the interactive Nile Rodgers experience to assist with the production of an interactive experience that would allow anyone to anonymously talk to someone that lives with a mental health disorder and ask them questions. The idea spread to talking to mental health experts, and over the course of 2021 we completed over 7 separate experiences with specialists and survivors of mental health issues.
The most prominent of which - Alastair Campbell and David Harewood have been vocal proponents of the need to talk about mental health, and confront their own issues. David had an episode of Psychosis, and Alastair deals with depression on a daily basis.
All of the filming used Red Helium, more for the flexibility in remote working and its simplicity for working with non standard framing and resolutions, with each edit delivered within days of the recording and over 130 individual files exported, named and uploaded to a hosting site.
