vj [presenter] backgrounds [quicktime movie links below]
animations and motion graphics  may 2003
MTV Networks | VH1 European

FL@33 was commissioned to create idents for VH1 European. The project includes 3 vj (presenter) background animations (2 min each) for daytime, evening and weekend. Additionally a series of 10 animations [such as butterflies, birds, etc.] were developed to be fired live onto the backgrounds (in front of live texts but behind the presenter) as an occasional motif to play with. Background sounds and menues for information astons, tour dates, programming info, etc. are completing the project.
The backgrounds and choice of colours are reflecting the channels's personality and mood of the different programming blocks. The idents were initially intended to be aired approx. 120 times per week – but until further notice they unfortunately had to pull the plug on the entire show.
