Week In Week Out (1980)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for a Welsh investigative current affairs series, looking at people, places and events in Wales and beyond. The title sequence began with a zoom out from a back-lit Kodalith containing lines of type of multiple versions of the programme title, typeset in different fonts and coloured with gels. Alternate lines panned in opposite directions. The zoom motion was accompanied by a matte and master, which wiped off the coloured text from left and right of screen simultaneously, disappearing into the centre and revealing a single programme logo as it did so. This logo split and exited left and right and revealed the programme logo for the final time as it zoomed up to centre screen.
