Resnick (1993)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘Resnick’, a drama serial adapted by John Harvey from his own novel about an unconventional detective, played by Tom Wilkinson. The title sequence featured a close-up of the eponymous detective while a time lapse film of the rooftops of Nottingham played out, partly as a superimposition. A shot of Resnick looking unflinchingly straight at the camera became the background for the superimposed credit titles as the camera tracked slowly in.
