OVERVIEW

It was a fun change to the usual in-show graphics brief, on BAFTA nominated I HATE SUZIE. We did a mix of in-show graphics both on set and in post, as well as adapting their main title for a season 2 twist.

ON-SET GRAPHICS

Erica and our motion team worked closely with director Dawn Shadforth and production designer Sarah Jenneson to bring a wild and electric large format screen element to the set for talent show DANCE CRAZEE.

Dawn wanted a mash up of squid games, fruit machines, tokyo Shibuya and “All that Jazz” that felt slick and techno. Not only did these designs need to convey the emotional journey of Suzie and the energy of each dance and each vote, we had to carefully plan many stages of each animation to be programmed live on set.

POST PRODUCTION & MAIN TITLE

We stayed with the show throughout post, providing additional designs for the DANCE CRAZEE broadcast.

Following this, exec producer Andrea Dewsbery came to us for help solving their main title. The brief was to build on season 1 with a very specific shift in tone: Embody the spirit of Bob Fossey and Cabaret with a nod to Christmas, all in a 3 second title! A challenge we enjoyed.
