MDots recently designed and produced the main title and show graphics for the new Animal Planet TV series ‘Spring Watch USA.’ The announcement was made by Emmy Award winner Allan Wells, president/founder, and Marc Dahlstrom, Managing Director, Mdots.
ABOUT THE ‘SPRING WATCH USA’ PROJECT:
Much like the events caught on camera during the course of production, Mdots Senior Designer Anne Babin created a main title sequence that “captured” a butterfly and transformed it into the ‘Spring Watch USA’ logo. Together with Vince Jimenez, Mdots Design Director, Anne designed and developed the graphics package for the show, emulating the color and vibrancy of springtime across America.
‘Spring Watch USA’ Executive Producer Joe Carolei worked closely with Mdots design team. He said, ‘The story Mdots tells in the main title, through the watchful eye of the camera lens following nature as it springs to life, really establishes the tone and feel of our show. The Mdots team went to great lengths to design a title and show package that felt seasonal and invites the viewer into a world they may not have seen before, at least from our camera point of view. Plus, they were a pleasure to work with. Their attention to design details and servicing our needs made for a great experience.’
Animal Planet debuted ‘Spring Watch USA,’ an as-it-happens, multimedia, nationwide event, during April and May. Filmed just prior to broadcast, this six-part miniseries was a celebration of the arrival and beauty of spring across the nation. Hosted by Jeff Corwin (‘The Jeff Corwin Experience,’ ‘Corwin’s Quest,’) and Vanessa Garnick (‘Caught in the Moment,’) viewers of ‘Spring Watch USA’ were shown many of the amazing mammals, birds and insects that herald the annual arrival of Spring.
