BDH has been at the cutting edge of British TV for two decades. Steve Burrell, John Durrant and Rob Hifle are known for their award-winning titles, graphics, animation and film-making skills, with credits that include Planet Earth, Antiques Roadshow and Seven Ages of Rock.

Recently, the outfit has made the promotional film We Are Your RTS (www.rts.org. uk), to highlight the work of the Society within the television industry.

In a special celebration, “BDH unzipped”, before a packed audience at the Watershed in June, Bristol Centre Chair Lynn Barlow rummaged through BDH’s RTS awards cabinet to discuss its work. The company has won 18 national RTS awards, as well as receiving Bafta, Emmy and Grammy recognition.

Clips showed a fascinating journey from simple titles and graphics through to embedded content in a series using the latest technology.

“One of the great strengths of BDH is its endless commitment to taking risks and trying out new things. This has resulted in some of the most boundary-crossing, magical work to come out of the UK,” said Clare Reddington, Creative Director of the Watershed.

The event was held at the end of an RTS Centres Council and board meeting, with the RTS centre chairs joining the Society’s HQ team in making their own Morphs under the expert tuition of Jim Parkyn from Aardman Animations.
