Brief Explanation
The key objectives was to create something beautiful, tactile, pleasing to the target audience that could stand repeated viewing. The challenges came from finding a way to break out the essence of the channel into the real world, and then the realities of designing, building, and shooting practical effects on location.

Describe the brief from the client
To create a set of idents that reflected the channels move to a focus on lifestyle content, and move the on air look from purely graphics into the outside world.




Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.



We looked at analogue movements, which we found relaxing and interesting to watch. Old-style train destination boards came up in our discussions. We worked to make one of these mechanisms that could work without the aid of gravity. We made a number of maquettes until we had one we liked. We then made these feel as if they echoed the moving version of the logo. We spent time working on the colour balance. Once we ensured up to 400 of these were working in motion, they felt satisfying to watch.




Describe the results in as much detail as possible.
