Channel 4
Dinner Party for new Channel 4 Idents
A collaboration with 4creative and Art Practice to spearhead the direction and creation of fresh idents for Channel 4, following the network’s recent masterbrand launch.
Comprising 25 distinct looping scenes, these idents aim to capture the essence of contemporary life in the UK, as perceived by 17 creatives, artists, and filmmakers. Each scene, born from an open brief, delves into one of five thematic pillars: Identity, The Land, System, Release, and Love. The idents are categorized into five sets of five films, each exuding its unique style and narrative voice.
