It's ChuckleTime!!!

ChuckleTime Titles from BenJamin Wigmore on Vimeo.
ChuckleTime is a clip show on Channel5 featuring English comedy legends Paul & Barry Chuckle. Various funny clips are mixed in with classic Chuckle Brothers humour. GeeFX Studios Creative Director Graham Clarkin tasked me with making some appropriate wacky titles with a cartoonish/Monty Pyhton feel.

Produced by So Television for Channel 5

Addition: I was very sad to hear of the passing of Barry Chuckle on August 5th 2018. The Chuckle Brothers were the first comedy duo I ever saw on TV and they had a great influence on me. They had perfect comedy timing and ChuckleVision was a big favourite of mine when I was younger. I'm thankful that they gave me this brilliant introduction to comedy at such a young age.

Sex, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll

Pitch for a show originally titled Sex, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll (and ended up being called "The Music Years"). We went as far as to build the logo in 3D and create some camera moves for the titles but we didn't win the pitch. I still think this was a cool idea and I really like the build...

BBC World Cup Titles 2018



BBC World Cup Title Sequence 2018 UHD from Rob Whitworth on Vimeo.

Very pleased to have worked on the amazing BBC World Cup Titles made by BAFTA winning film maker Rob Whitworth and GeeFX Studios. I looked after the Russian Doll Sequence and the painting in the Saint Basil's Cathedral which required a lot of rotoscoping and photoshop work. The end result is a fantastic eye catching sequence that is very unique.

Join the Revolution



Sky One - Revolution - 4K Graphics Package from GeeFX® Studios on Vimeo.

Working closely with Znak & Co we helped develop the show with various concept artwork, and upon commission we created the entire broadcast graphics package, from logo design, t-shirt and banner designs, to on-screen animations, score boards, and a multitude of post graphics. All the graphics we're produced in 4K resolution.


For the last two years GeeFX Studios has been working in development with Znak&Co on a very ambitious television project. Personally this is the longest and most in-depth development of a TV show I have ever been involved in. I ended up doing all kinds of different jobs for production, including costume design, promotional work and website designs.


From initial concept artwork, logo design, titles, on-screen graphics, promo work, costume design and post graphics the show has grown into a mighty 4K monster which reminds me of TV shows like Gladiator and X-Games.

Here are some Concept Design examples:







It takes a huge number of people to produce a show like this. Filmed at Cardington Studios, a massive aircraft hangar, the show's scale is off the charts. Here's a video of presenter Steve-O on set...

GoodBye Thames LONDON STUDIOS: The Graham Norton Show Crew 2007-2018


After working at London Studios for what seems like a lifetime it is sadly closing. I will miss these studios and most of all working with so many freelancers and staff. It was difficult to come up with these few words but photographer Steven Fuller said it better with his great photography of LS than I ever will.
