MCV AWARDS 2014: See the official opening video

Last week’s MCV Awards 2014 kicked off with some of the industry’s greatest squaring off against the apocalypse – and you can see it all here on video.

The short was filmed at Oriental City in Colindale, which has been derelict since 1998. Some – particularly Alex Verrey who used to host Gamesworld for Sky One from there – will remember it as the home of the Sega Centre back in the day.

Oriental City should be on TV screens a lot later this year as the BBC have just shot a major new feature there.

The MCV shoot was likely to be the last it will host as it was due to finally be demolished the day after filming.

Here’s the video, with the cast list below. A full list of winners from the event can be seen here:
