Concept and creative process
Opening titles for a documentary series that ran from 1958 to 1994, in which journalist Alan Whicker reported on interesting social stories from across the globe. In this series Whicker talked to enterprising Brits who had gone to live and work successfully in the USA. In a computer-generated sequence of the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes, the virtual camera moved in tighter with each cut until the markings of the flags were large enough to be used as split screen elements to contain live action clips. At the end of the sequence the two flags tied themselves together in a friendship knot.
