General Studies (1977)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a wide-ranging series for A-level students. The title artwork was filmed back lit in two passes on the rostrum camera, using two versions of the title lettering panning over each other. In the first pass the two versions of the title lettering were made as clear on black Kodaliths and coloured with strips of gels. In the second pass, the two versions of the title lettering were both clear, back lit with white light and panning over each other until both versions of the lettering were in register, thereby creating the programme title.
