Best of the North West

I recently completed work on "The Best of the North West" pilot episode! It is an "Ugly Kid Productions" broadcast on Seattle's CBS this last Sunday. This show is an exciting new half hour Television Series that features the NorthWest’s most intriguing people, businesses and events in a series of captivating segments.

For this job, I was responsible for graphic intro, transitions, lower thirds, show bug, credits, editing, online, and some post producing. I worked with a great producer-David Earnest on this production that was both out of time and money.

I produced a style frame based on the original meeting:

Next came the animatic. I created the moves in 3D and edited some Seattle clips to get an idea of the flow:

The completed intro:

After On-lining this piece, I separated the segments, compressed and uploaded secure links for each of the clients to review and make changes. Finally, I prepped the files for closed captioning and made the last FedEx Next Day delivery myself.

Here is an example of the lower third and bug interacting together:

 Finished in record time!
