MovieMash

World's End Television has just finished production on a pilot for Channel 4's forthcoming Comedy Lab season. Moviemash is a spoof movie magazine show which perverts film star interviews, selected from old Moviewatch rushes, by juxtaposing them with fake reverses.
Mooschool were asked to create a 10" opening title sequence which reflected not just the programme's cinematic subject but also the more trashy entertainment influence of the E! Channel. The concept of the video walI in a cinema bridges this gap and enables the graphics to live up to the title.
The video wall was animated in Cinema 4D and I used the Hair module to make the dynamic cables. I discovered this useful tutorial if you want to learn how to set this up. Then I had trouble exporting the nulls of the monitors because I'd used a mograph fracture object to animate them apart. This would enable me to track the VT of the celebrities to the monitors in After Effects allowing more flexibility with grading or shot changes; no point re-rendering 3D every time the client requests a new face. Fortunately, Per Anders has a clever Xpresso and COFFEE setup here which generates the required information.
I concocted the end logo from fonts displayed in famous film posters and if anyone can identify every film and font I've used then I may have to award some kind of prize. Good luck!
Subject to any changes, Moviemash will be on Channel 4 on April 29th at 11:30pm.
