The title sequence is combination of live action footage of the shows presenters, combined with Motion Graphics, which result in a fast paced journey where we follow the presenters making their way across a construction site, dodging slime and other falling obstacles!

A range of different Motion Graphics Stings created as intro’s to games played on the show. Each game was given it’s own look and feel, and each sting was created to reflect the nature of the game it was representing. Logo designs were also designed for each game, and Hi-Resolution artwork was created for use on large scale prints to be displayed in [Nickelodeon UK's] studio.

Pixel DNA has designs on Nickelodeon's Big Weekend
Sheffield agency Pixel DNA has created the brand and title sequence for new Nickelodeon show 'Jamie & Anna's Big Weekend'.
The Sheffield agency was tasked with creating all of the show's design elements including graphical content and promotional materials.
Marc Tingle, Creative Director at Pixel DNA says: “Being a brand new show, it has been a fantastic opportunity for us to be involved from day one, and be responsible for creating all of the creative and visual elements for the show's look and feel.”
Also, from the official website of music composer David Arnold, who composed the "Jamie & Anna's Big Weekend" theme tune for Nickelodeon UK:
‘Jamie & Anna’s Big Weekend’ Theme for Nickelodeon
The theme tune for Nickelodeon’s new Saturday morning show Jamie & Anna’s Big Weekend was written, recorded, arranged and produced entirely in-house by David Arnold Music. The brief called for a “Big Show style and credentials”, and required that it should“…incorporate a big band, showbiz sound (“Live From London”) and be recorded with real instrumentation including live drums, guitars, saxes and brass”
This gave the team a great opportunity to flex their creative muscles – with stunning results, as you can hear. So slick is the final result that one industry insider commented that when he heard it he wondered if the job had gone to an American production company, saying “it sounds as if it was recorded in Hollywood”!
