Pedwar Ar Bedwar (1985)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for ‘Pedwar ar Bedwar’ (‘Four on Four’), a Welsh language sketch-based satirical comedy review programme. The animated opening 'domino' titles were produced using the traditional painted cel technique, filmed on a rostrum camera. Mattes for the video inserts were filmed at the same time, enabling the live action images to be combined with the animation on an optical printer at the film laboratory. The corporate BBC Wales identity preceded the title sequence.
