BBC News Fans was a not-for-profit, community-driven and live online channel which produced a plethora of different programming based around the BBC and BBC News. After helping to design and direct some of the channel’s programmes a few years ago, I was elected as project leader: a position I retained until we shuttered the channel following a risk-assessment regarding trademark and intellectual property compliance.

I produced the title sequence for ‘Over to You’, which served as BBC News Fans’ flagship community showcase programme. All design was completed in Adobe After Effects, and the inclusion of comment bubbles complemented the channel’s right-of-reply brand motif.

I also designed the titles for ‘News News’, which was a replay of Aaron Heslehurst’s only news presenting shift in almost a decade, presented for the opening night of BBC News Fans. This project was produced in Premiere Pro.
