Naked Video (1991)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a BBC Scotland comedy sketch programme starring Gregor Fisher, Andy Gray, Tony Roper and Jonathan Watson. Torn strips of paper in the colours of video colour bars formed the background for some of the famous photographs by Eadweard Muybridge, whose studies earned him the title of the father of animation. Some of his prints can be seen on the desktop alongside colour charts, felt pens, Letraset and a BBC graticule showing the title safe area, which became the background for the wacky animated torn paper portraits of the comedy stars of the show which were composited in a digital edit.
