Collecting Now (1983)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a weekly look at collectors and collections in their fascinating and limitless variety. Andy Coward designed this title sequence as an amusing line dance of inanimate objects to demonstrate some of the things that people collect. The scenario was nicely filmed in stop motion animation, moving the objects by hand one frame at a time to a pre-determined choreography. The place where the collectables were performing is shown at the end of the sequence to have been a Tea Chest, which revolved to reveal the programme logo stamped on its side.
