ABOUT

Ricky's Radical Reinventions was a pilot kids practical science/create stuff show commissioned to Aardman's broadcast wing by CBBC, fronted by Art Ninja himself, former neighbour and fellow skater, one Ricky Martin. Aardman had an old Citroen van painted and stickered up with appropriate livery and the .AI file they had was what they wanted the motion graphics to reflect, so that's what we did.

What I did -
Title animations, lower thirds, edit effects, wipes, bumpers, stings, all that fun stuff.

How I did it -
Damn fast I tell you, even if my 2008 MBP, the Midnight Toker, was out on its final swansong with this job and very nearly peaced itself out of service during the last-minute renders on the Friday evening.

Quite a last minute rush job in some aspects, but still fun to do, even if CBBC never commissioned a full series
