The Gadget Show Live 2014

Hey boy and girls! Aimee here and it’s time for another blog! Today I want to share the awesomeness that is the Gadget Show Live!

With images that span decades and reveal a glimpse inside some of the industry’s most recognisable films, this collection of work is a nice little piece of film history.
