The programme was broadcast on Sunday 3rd June on ITV1. I designed the boards for the titles, then went on to create the sequence which is a mixture of 2D, 3D and filmed elements. I directed the live shoot with the horse, and went on to create all of the 3D animation including the cloth simulations in Cinema 4D. Finally I did the composites and grade on the sequence. Richard Norley provided overall Creative Direction on the project, and it was supported with the production talents of Kate Norley, Karon Hall and Lucy Moses.
