Shoots and sequences snaps

Channel 4's World's Maddest Job Interview and Learner Adams Bones are two of our most recent clients at toast, among a few other corporate requests.


First up, Bob Hough, our head of graphics, put together the opening title sequence for the World's Maddest Job Interview, which was first aired on Channel 4 on Wednesday 25th July 2012. The programme has stirred a debate about how mental health issues are touched on by the media. But, having watched it ourselves we think that the topics were covered sensitively and did well to break up conventional stereotypes of how mental health affects performance in the work place.

Bob Hough provided the graphics for the opening title sequence of C4's World's Maddest Job Interview.

Then, today (Monday 30th July 2012) we went on a green screen shoot at 01ZERO-ONE for Learner Adams Bones, which went much faster than predicted!
