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.
A troubled relationship between a Cat and Mouse set in the distant Future.

This was a project that was very long in the making. It began as very heavily storyboarded drawn piece based on a poem and the piece of music I had.
It slowly degenerated into the above.
Made in Maya.
So recently I submitted it to a few festivals with the following synopsis:
“God’s taps gleamed far above, like Chomolungma’s peak, but they leaked . The Devil’s toad sat by the death plug unable to progress beyond early meiotic division. Although distressed by Charons pet nymphs, it gained succour from the drip and stole time before new washers arrived.
Short psychedelic whimsey.”
Note to self: the expression “(frame)%250” will loop a 250 frame sequence in Maya. But they don’t put it in the help files.
Y’all got that?
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.
