Living By The Book Titles
Last year I worked on this title sequence for S4C programme Living By The Book (or Byw Yn Ol Y Llyfr to give it its Welsh title). Presenters Tudur Owen and Bethan Gwanas had to experience life according to the rules laid out in a Welsh Victorian handbook. We were tasked with creating a title sequence that represented both the Middle-class Victorian era, and the book that featured throughout. The opening shot was created entirely in After Effects using photographs and elements created from scratch. I handled all of the compositing and 2D graphics in After Effects, while the CG elements (paper street, houses & train) were made by Llyr Williams and Romano Marenghi, my colleagues at Dinamo Productions.
The sequence was so successful we’ve been commissioned to produce another for the show’s follow-up due later this year.
UPDATE! We’ve been nominated for a Welsh BAFTA for this title sequence! The ceremony is on 29th May, so fingers crossed for a good result!
Nice work!
Thanks Chris!
