This fun sequence, designed by Jump's Lee Jacobs sees Alan Carr mischievously setting off a giant rocket in the basement of Channel 4. It blasts through the roof to the delight of the queueing crowd outside to spell out the show's title. This show was first broadcast on Channel 4 on 31st December 2011.

Two are being shown over the Christmas period, and the final episode will be broadcast to coincide with the London 2012 Olympics. These titles are slightly revamped from the previous incarnation. Whilst the concept is the same (originally designed by Jump's Keith Livingstone), the colours and typography have been developed to have a more contemporary feel. It's also HD now - so it was re-animated from scratch so all the graphics look lovely and sharp.

The films were commissioned by Puma as an in-house tool to explore different groups of potential Puma consumers. I can't show you the finished films here, but I can show you the introduction graphics I made for them. The white coloured graphics didn't get used in the end, with Puma instead opting for the black colour way and a simpler animation. Despite the white versions being too far off brand for Puma, I still prefer them ;) The white versions... On brand, with a pared down animation....

There was a vast amount of graphics to produce, and I got to pick up some valuable project management skills. This one was the mother of multi-tasking projects! As part of the graphics package we were asked to collaborate with Musion to produce some Pixie Lott 'Holograms' as part of the Red or Black gameplay. After a live performance in the studio (see below), Pixie was asked to choose a version of herself to open a locket and reveal the colour of butterflies inside - thus providing an outcome for the contestants. Musion filmed Pixie performing, and I got to go along and oversee the sections concerning the gameplay. We had to make an introduction segment, a loop containing particle effects, a transition off effect and the butterflies themselves. This lineup clip is only an example of what was projected on the night, as the outcomes had to be 100% random. Each Pixie was projected as a 'hologram' individually by Ionoco, and each one had the option of Red or Black butterflies inside her locket. No one knew which colour version of herself Pixie was going to choose until she called it! This was a surprisingly complex segment of the show to produce, and it involved a wide range of very talented and hardworking people, a film shoot, and some cutting edge technology to get right!

Working with Senior Designer, Keith Livingstone, I animated a 30 second title sequence based on his designs and animatics. I also had the opportunity to create additional designs for some of the scenes, based on the textured and colourful illustrated look that Keith had devised. The titles and break bumpers were on air on Channel 4 from August 27th 2011 though until 4th September 2011.

Here's the lowdown on the project, in Fred & Eric's own words.... "Fred & Eric have created an animation for Save The Children's breaking GAVI campaign to help save 4 million lives in 4 hours, at the global vaccines summit in June. Fred & Eric were briefed to design and create an animation to highlight the critical facts of the campaign. The combination of illustration, stop-frame animation, video footage and After Effects animation was used to create a standout tactile piece; a stirring call to action that will be played online, as time before the summit ticks down."
