“A curious phenomenon is occurring each Wednesday. The BBC is receiving a lot of love. Well, to be specific, David Attenborough’s current series is. Frozen Planet is so beautifully put together, so moving, so informative, that even those cynical journalists who routinely abuse the BBC on behalf of their paymasters for the simple reason their products are in direct competition with it are eagerly embracing the brilliance of this programme.”
wow
Very proud to say I am a small part of the awesomeness that is the BDH graphics team on the BBC’s Prof. Brian Cox, doe-eyed-lens-flare-fest, “Wonders of the Universe”.
I made particular contributions to star surfaces and coronal loops.
Here is an edit of all the graphics we produced for the series, with a soundtrack by Timo Baker.
This comes with a caution, as face melting may occur.
EDIT: Looks like they had to take the edit down, but you can still see the trailer for the show here.
BDH produced a series of films to accompany the performace of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by the Emerald Ensemble.
This is the Largo from Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, RV </wiki/Ryom_Verzeichnis> 269, “La primavera” (Spring).
Vivaldi wrote sonnets for each concerto in the Four Seasons. For this piece he wrote:
“And now, in the pleasant, flowery meadow, to the soft murmur of leaves and plants, the goatherd sleeps with his faithful dog at his side.”
Each musical element clearly illustrates this scene and the shapes in the animation aims to reflect that.

For best Title Sequence.
We’re all very happy and a tad emotional.
Well done us, and a big thanks to everyone who supported and helped along the way.
“The judges felt this sequence was unique, bold, edgy and very striking. The animation was cleverly done, maintaining a real strength truly befitting the feel of the programme.”
At BDH we did the titles and content graphics for the BBC NHU series Yellowstone.
Using NASA Landsat and height data to create “shuttle-view” aerials, we had the pleasure of matching the mood and lighting of the amazing footage the team shot on location.
Final Delivery was in HD.
Very pleased to announce that the work I did at BDH on the viral for “Without You” has been featured on Cartoon Brew. They published my short description of the methods used to make it.
Some nice comments too.
Recently at BDH, myself and the very clever and splendid Orla Handley made the titles for the up coming BBC series “British Style Genius“. The first episode of which goes out 21:00hrs, 7th October on BBC TWO (that’s in the UK only as far as I know).
Handley did the designing, editing, crazy-bonkers stop frame animation etc. I made CGI threads, worked out how to fit them with the stop frame, some compositing, a bit of camera holding, frowning, pointing, and occasional fetching stuff.
After the initial building of the sequence Handley went on to produce five separate colorways, to match the style of each episode of the series, which all deal with different sections of British fashion history.
This means everyone must watch all five episodes to fully appreciate the total awesomeness of this title sequence.
