Tracks - titles (1998)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘Tracks’, a BBC2 countryside magazine programme depicting a country walk with a difference. The sequence was filmed live action video on location with artistes, animal handlers and props, using in-camera effects. The multi-layered ‘Tracks’ stings of the programme logo were designed to be used as interstitials between programme items as punctuation and were created by compositing the abstract sting motion background and the animated logo mattes to create the final effect. This multi-layered effect was used almost subliminally throughout the title sequence scenario as punctuation between different elements of the live action filming. It was edited on Quantel Henry at Blue Post-Production. The music was by David Lowe.

Winner of a regional Royal Television Society award for technical excellence.
