Season 4 was another massive undertaking. Six stories, and one of them a portmanteau of three stories within. The graphics team grew even more, and we found ourselves spread across the globe once again.
My role was to create key graphics, as well as steer the graphic language and designs across the series through prep, shoot and post - quite often all at once. This was huge amounts of co-ordination across our in-house graphics department, the amazing motion team at Painting Practice, graphic designers abroad and our on-set playback team, Revolver (who helped us orchestrate over 80 screens in-camera with hundreds of files and cues per scene for the USS Callister Bridge)
Highlights for season 4 have to also include the beautiful geometric set elements I was lucky to build for ‘Hang The DJ’ (large scale partitions and wall coverings in metal finishes) and of course working with the illustration legend that is Butcher Billy.
As with Season 3, I hugely enjoyed working closely with Series Designer Joel Collins as he built early look books and tone documents, as well as overseeing final motion graphics in post.
