That Channel 4 "giant" ident

[lizzieloo]

Designed to “champion diversity and provoke change”



It makes me a bit sad every time it's on the telly, in a Lonesome George kinda way.

like it's proper trying to make friends but it only works for a short time.

Just me?

Nothing beats the original 1982 version.

I can’t work out how they’ve done it. Well I know how they’ve done it - 3D modelling mixed with footage (probably using Flame or Nuke) but how they’ve managed to perfectly align the angle of the kids sitting on it as it runs down the street. From below.

Matchmove software can match CGI with live action perfectly by tracking the movement of the live action shot. It gets used all the time, from films to commercials, etc.
