Discovery Shed

This is an Ident for Discovery shed on Sky. Discovery Shed are a Channel housed under the Discovery channel, but what is interesting is that although they use the word discovery within their name they have identified themselves with their own identity.



Personally I don't think that a viewer would know that this channel was directly associated with the Discovery Channel without having prior knowledge.

Animation Using Cogs

This is an animation that I found by animation company 'Once were Farmers'. This piece is actually an Ident for the animation company istelf.

When I decided to create an Ident for the 'Discovery Channel',  initially I thought of the idea of 'how things work' and mechanical elements. Clearly my research into the nature of the channel itself will lead me to the ensuring that my Ident reflects the type of programmes that are shown, however as a starting point I think that this will be a good place to start.

This is an animation that Andy told me about after discussing my initial ideas about creating something mechanical.

Discovery Channel Ident

This is an Ident for the Discovery channel. One of the interesting thing about this is the style that has been used. From watching the piece you have a clear understanding that the ident is for the Discovery channel. The colours used are the ones expressed through the channels identity, which helps you to instantly realize that the ident is for the Discovery Channel.

Looking at the piece you can see that particles have been used. These work great in terms of building up the figures/shapes etc. We are taken on a journey through this piece and our attention is held throughout. The use of these particles allow the viewer to follow them and remain interested.
