A Sense of Guilt (1990)

Concept and creative process

This surreal title sequence was created by designer Iain Greenway to open the BBC Drama serial ‘A Sense of Guilt’, starring Trevor Eve. A scale model of the actor was set within a practical Escheresque architectural structure. The rig was locked off and shot in multiple passes on a motion control arm with a 35mm periscope camera. Matte passes were taken into Flame in post-production and live action was added to match the perspective changes. The opening shots of each episode of the drama were integrated into the title sequence to create a seamless transition from title to drama.
