Concept and creative process
Julian Fellowes adapted and produced a six-part television drama of Mark Twain’s ‘The Prince and the Pauper’. For the titles, designer Maggie Perry (Bone) commissioned a richly illustrated royal family tree, beautifully drawn by Roz Pritchard on a parchment scroll, to introduce the characters in the play and establish their relationship to King Henry VIII. A motion control camera rig was used to film the small set-up of props and the commissioned artwork as the background for the titles, which were superimposed or composited from separate artwork in post-production.
