30 Years of The Mill | Head of Editorial, Charlotte Carr

What piece of Mill work do you see as the most pioneering & why?

I remember watching Sony ‘Balls’ and being absolutely mesmerized. The Mill had just finished the spot when I first started working there. There’s something amazing about watching the seemingly chaotic nature of the shoot in the BTS with ‘talent’ that you can’t predict or control, crew in riot gear and the beautifully calming and hypnotic result of the final spot.

In your opinion, what will be the most defining change in the creative industry over the next decade?  

Like anything it’s hard to predict what the next ‘big thing’ will be, our industry is constantly changing and developing through the extraordinary creative minds that help shape it. There have definitely been some big leaps in the world of AR, VR, Unreal, etc. And who knows what else is to come! 

I think 2020 has proved that sometimes change is forced upon us and we have to adapt to find new and innovative ways to work, communicate and create together. For me some things never change and keeping collaboration and creating beautiful visual storytelling at the heart of what we do is what matters most.
