The brainchild of commercials director Guy Soulsby, Devil Makes Work involved the design & creation of a myriad of Worlds: the Greek God Sisyphus pushing a giant boulder up a mountain, Jesus carrying his cross on a rocky landscape, an overgrown misty graveyard, the devil's bloody lair, an African witch doctor, a decrepit Eastern Prison cell, a narrow brick alleyway and many others. 
All of these sets were built at Park Village studio under the narrowest of timescales and with very limited funds. It proved to be fantastic creative project for all involved and has gone on to win many awards.
