Battle of The Popstars - Live! Title Sequence

Mr & Mrs Smith Design Ltd. (www.mrandmrssmith.tv) created the graphics for groundbreaking, live interactive show for Channel 5, Battle of the Popstars - Live! The show brought the "100 Greatest..." concept firmly into the interactive, digital age, putting the audience in charge of the show's outcome.

Mr & Mrs Smith created a surreal visual concept to carry the show, in which the worlds biggest popstars fought it out in a bizarre kitsch boxing ring.

This world has a cool mixed media style. Manipulated photographs of the celebrities create crazy stylized caricatures with out of proportion limbs. They punch and kick each other in a quirky stop-frame style. All set in a boxing ring surrounded by angels wings, doves and flowers.

Due to the show going out live, there was no way of predicting which popstar would go through to the next round. Therefore 64 bespoke animations were created to depict each popstar fighting and winning their round to cover every eventuality...

On top of the fight sequences the show was packed with stings and bumpers to inject the show with energy and fun. The program went out live, with pre-recorded VTs to showcase each of the featured Popstars, ready for the audience's vote to decide the outcome of each fight. The Graphics package produced by MMS included a title sequence, kit of parts, as well as unique animations for each popstar. Designed by Lisa Lloyd, animated in After Effects by Andy Martin and Christian Bevilaqua.

PS Elvis won!
