Need To Know
A daily news show broadcast on social media directed by Warren Nettleford and Seth Goolnik. Here they are accepting an RTS award for our first series.
About
NTK is a RTS Award-winning programme. It's the UK’s first non-partisan politics news show designed for young audiences and produced for the social platforms. This job was mad - it was written at 8am, shot at 9am, keyed and edited at 10am, designed and animated in the day and then aired at 7pm the same day. I made all the GFX for the show as it came in, with help on a few days from the brilliant Luke Robinson. Designed in Photoshop and Illustrator, animated in After Effects.
