Comedy Playhouse (1963)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for a long-running anthology series of one-off sitcoms, many of which launched other classic comedy series. A simple rostrum camera shoot with cut-out animation of Galton and Simpson’s heads, hand animated frame by frame under the rostrum camera, established the faces of the famous scriptwriting team and their credentials in the shape of the BAFTA television awards that they had won.
