Blink Productions - Channel 4 Idents

Director: Dougal Wilson

DOP: Daniel Landin

Production Manager: Lucy Jones

We were very happy to work with Blink Productions again who were up in the north of england shooting a full brand new set of Idents for Channel 4. The concept would be heavily reliant on CGI in post production so DOP Daniel Landin chose to shoot full frame Arriraw on our Alexa XT and Alexa Mini cameras. He chose Cooke S4/i prime lenses and Angenieux zooms.

In the films, Channel 4’s iconic blocks are brought to life as a friendly fallible giant. Shot across the UK, the films are a celebration of togetherness, diversity and youth. With his usual warmth and wit, Dougal takes a refreshingly humorous and light-hearted approach to the channel’s new identity, making it impossible not to connect with them. - Blink Productions

Camera & grip kit was complimented by a comprehensive Playback package including Qtake, Flanders monitoring, Teradek Bolt Pro 3000 kits and TV Logic Director's monitoring.

The commercials were shot on location across England from Derbyshire down to East Sussex

Equipment supplied: Arri Alexa XT & Alexa Mini shooting full frame Arriraw, full set of Cooke S4/i primes & Angenieux zooms
