Concept and creative process
The opening titles for a series in which comedy impressionist, Phil Cool, looked at the world through the eyes of famous personalities. The animated titles were based on drawings of the artiste, taken from a series of still photographs, rendered in a loose pastel technique. A top layer of back-painted cell animation played with the comically visual possibilities offered by the shapes which ultimately formed the programme logo. The whole sequence was filmed on a rostrum camera and captured in-camera with no editing required.
