The Animal Magic Show (2002)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a series of the wildlife show presented by magician Dominic Wood. The designers used the fact that the presenter was a well-known magician as the hook on which to hang a neat animated idea for the titles, combining magic tricks, wildlife and the title lettering. The gloved hands of the magician were shot live and used to orchestrate and trigger the 3D computer animation of the top hat, the animals, the title letters and the glitter.
