This one went down very well. I got a lot of people together for this that would normally not really be together, so that created an interesting dynamic.
Lots of clever moments in this, and I particularly enjoy Steve's meanness, and June's cruel laugh.
Ben did a great job with the title screens for this too. Actually, he filmed some of this, giving me a much greater directorial role, which I really enjoyed.

We wanted a news format that we could re-visit when we wanted to. As usual, because Ben Jackson and myself are the brains behind the announcements, we ended up with a BBC feel to it. I really enjoyed making this one, and I think it came off really well.
I think my favourite bit is where I claim to be John Tanyan. Classic.

I learned a lot with this one - I used a lot of different transitions and visual effects. I think at one point I had 10 video channels running. It took forever to render, but I think it was worth it. We'll re-visit this format at some point, I'm sure.
