Athletics: World Championships
Graphics for the World Athletics in Moscow that was on between the 10th and 18th August.
The idea started as a play on the idea of the fairytale. Stories of heroism, defeat, victory and struggles, once upon a times and happily ever afters. For ages I've wanted to do something with Vladimir Propp's ideas about the basic components that make up any fairytale. A series of moving illustrations of the different functions or scenes using a cast of common props, characters and motifs to create something that has the feeling of a story, even without a decided narrative.
The visuals developed to become much simpler, images of athletes in Russian settings. Modern figures in mythical style poses, the athlete as hero, warrior etc.
The visual styling was a reference to Soviet children's books from the 1920's and 30's, and some of the classic communist posters. The text and wipes were taken from El Lissitsky's children's book About 2 Squares, although I didn't actually read the story until the end of the project.
The whole package included stings, wipes, captions, stings. And a Russian Bear.

Rugby League Titles
I spent two weeks last month working on new titles for the rugby league, initially for the Challenge Cup that's on air at the moment.
The idea came from a Paul Bush film using archive footage to tell the story of rugby on the BBC. I had been thinking a lot about the graphical language of rugby after working on the autumn internationals last year. And about how it may be possible to push the ideas forward visually in a way that feels comfortable for the audience (who after some research proved to be much older than expected). The idea of using cigarette cards is something I've been thinking about since visiting the Wolves museum earlier in the year.
The project was made with Mark Woodward, from such hits as Le Crunch and the Match of the Day 2 boxing posters. Below are some of the visuals, from the pitch and development work as well as the final piece. Once I get a copy of the final titles I'll upload the movie onto Vimeo.
