Guess Who!
INTRO VIGNETTE
We made an animated intro for the quiz show 'Gjett Hvem!'('Guess Who!'), a lighthearted comedy program where all the questions revolve around the celebrity contestants in the studio. Alongside the intro, we also animated various sequences used throughout the show

Stellar Secrets
'Guess Who!' is a fun and playful program in which four contestants must guess which of their peers has done, said, or thought something out of the ordinary. For instance, 'Who let their husband finish watching a Champions League match even though labor had begun?'
The intro provides a glimpse of what the program is about, while setting the tone for the evening. The most challenging aspect was figuring out the situations used in the intro. As they couldn't be too concrete. With substantial assistance from d'tox and illustrator Zarina, we arrived at this whimsical and playful circus theme.
Retro Espionage
The visual expression we ended up with is funky and charming. Since the show is based on a bit of detective work, we found inspiration from old spy and detective title sequences from the 1950s and 1960s. The style is simple, exaggerated, and full of energy. This helps convey the humor in the different situations.
Unleash the Workflow
The tight deadline demanded efficient collaboration. Although having creative freedom was wonderful, it did pose challenges in decision-making. Our approach had to be somewhat unconventional to deliver on time. Together we brainstormed unique situations and characters, conducted animation tests simultaneously with the illustrations being made. We inspired each other and made necessary adjustments. This freestyle workflow turned out to be perfect, thanks to everyone's open-mindedness and shared commitment to crafting something extraordinary.
