Short

I remember watching Stephen Frys 100 greatest gadgets a few months ago and feel the kind of programme I'm designing for with Retro Games would be largely similar to the unfolding of its content, just on a smaller scale. A countdown, with people talking about their memories and experiences with the games as kids etc. a very light hearted step back in time to revist presenters, guests and target audiences childhood entertainment.


This is a set of screen shots, key frames, from a promotional reel for the show. 50 seconds long so already in ways similar to what I'll be producing, however it uses recorded film.
One thing I did notice that Fred mentioned earlier is how the reel is made up of lots of short clips, i took a screen shot every 5 seconds, and even between each one of those the shot changed 2 or 3 times.

I also like how no show name or info is displayed untill the very end, this is a common technique but channel 4 seem to do it extremely well, with the last 5/6 seconds dedicated to the info in the always elegant channel 4 ident style.
