Nickelodeon - Saturdays from Buck on Vimeo.

Remember getting up early to watch Thunderbirds? Maybe you were more of a Masters of the Universe person. Fraggle Rock, The Smurfs, Duck Tales, Care Bears, Jem and the Holograms, My Little Pony… the list goes on. These days there is a new roster, and we were pumped to infuse some of our fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons into these idents for Nick. Using stripes, circles, Nick’s logo and the characters from the shows, we made a fun series of idents which we hope the kids of today enjoy as they munch on their cereal.

Davis, and the graphics were designed and created by Sheffield, UK-based creative studio agency "PIXEL DNA".

It is currently unknown whether the new Nickelodeon Short "Nickelodeon Screen Test" is an Nickelodeon UK Exclusive Nick Short or whether it will also air on Nickelodeon's international channels, however, the word 'favourite' in James Maslow's first question is spelt 'favorite', which is the North American "American English" spelling of the word instead of "British English".

Nickelodeon's House Of Anubis from James Bartley on Vimeo.

Nickelodeon asked me to create a broadcast package for Season 2 of House of Anubis. They wanted me to create a few connected 3d environments based on some scenes from the show that we could then use to produce a large range of animations within. I delivered a series of composited 3d shots in After Effects where all the text was set up in separate comps and could be easily versioned out.
