After doing test shots for my E4 Ident (which can be found on my design practice blog), and focusing mainly on composition i was analysing the shots in the studio when Karl mentioned it looked a lot like the 1st Simpsons movie teaser below.
As each section of my own ident will be around 5 seconds long i dont have the time to include such a long pan around the chest, but this is a great example of the effect i want to create. A slow tense pan of the chest revealing small aspects of the character and then jumping back with a quick zoom out to reveal the full subject.

E4 Movie Research
E4's Monday Night Movie features films such as Crocodile Dundee, Cocktail, Ghost Busters, Buffy the vampire slayer and Mr & Mrs Smith, films which they say are not necessarily good, or bad but they are all guilty pleasures.
Crocodile Dundee.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee is an Australian crocodile hunter who lives in the Australian outback and runs a safari business with his trusted friend and mentor Walter Reilly. After surviving a crocodile attack, a New York journalist named Sue arrives to interview Mick about how he survived and learns more about the crocodile hunter. After saving Sue from a crocodile, Sue invites Mick to visit New York City, since Mick has never been to a city. Mick finds the culture and life in New York City a lot different than his home and he finds himself falling in love with Sue.
Cocktail.
After leaving the Army, Brian Flanagan tries to get a marketing job in New York. But without a college degree, this was not possible. He then decides to start studying for a business degree at the local City College and gets a part time job as a bartender. He realizes that its not that easy, but when his new boss Douglas Coughlin teaches him the secrets of the bar trade and they become the most famous bartenders in town. Both Brian and Doug Coughlin want their own top class cocktail bars someday and Brian's Cocktail Bar is to be called 'Cocktails & Dreams', and in order to get the necessary money to open it, Brian travels to Jamaica to work as a bartender at a resort Tiki Bar, and the pay is good. There he meets Jordan Mooney, a young and pretty, up and coming American artist on vacation with her girlfriend from New York, staying at the Island resort. Jordan and Brian spend some quality time together and fall in love. But when Brian takes a dare from his old buddy, Doug Coughlin to sleep with an older woman, who is also staying at the resort. Jordan, herself the daughter of wealthy parents back in New York, leaves the Island overnight, after seeing Brian and the older woman together after closing... Will Jordan ever forgive Brian and will they get back together?
Ghostbuster
Three odd-ball scientists get kicked out of their cushy positions at a university in New York City where they studied the occult. They decide to set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, spirits, haunts, and poltergeists for money. They wise-crack their way through the city, and stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, one which will release untold evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
(was unable to find movie trailer)
Buffy Summers has the lifestyle any young woman could want. Cheerleading, dating the captain of the basketball team, and copious amounts of time spent shopping with friends. She had no idea of her true calling until a mysterious man named Merrick approached her and told her that she is the Slayer; one woman called to defend the world from vampires. Reluctant to concede to the fact, Buffy soon learns that Merrick speaks the truth and so begins to take her new life seriously while trying to maintain the sense of normality her life had once been. With her best friends slowly abandoning her, Buffy finds solace in the town outcast, Pike, who knows very well the terrors that have arisen. Together, they combat the forces of the old and powerful vampire, Lothos, who has his eyes set on Buffy.
Mr & Mrs Smith
John and Jane Smith are a normal married couple, living a normal life in a normal suburb, working normal jobs...well, if you can call secretly being assassins "normal". But neither Jane nor John knows about their spouse's secret, until they are surprised to find each other as targets! But on their quest to kill each other, they learn a lot more about each other than they ever did in five (or six) years of marriage.

E4 Research
E4 Use Idents to advertise everything new they do, from second chance sunday to the last episode of scrubs. Their idents are always querky, fun, branded with the E4 Logo and colour and have been produced in stop-motion, Video and CG Animation.
In order to stand a chance of wining the competition i am going to need to understand E4's Style and Humor, whilst producing a professional Outcome.
Second Chance Sunday:
Sunday Ruddy Sunday:
First Look
E4 Idents have always amused the country, and have been popular for a number of years but when they released this following set of stop motion and CG Idents the bar for channel Promotion was raised.
Personally whilst the previous idents were all good and the stop-motion set is incredibly impressive, these short animated 'EStings' are still my favorite part of E4's Promotion. I feel they hold a great style with out trying to be incredibly fashionable, or technically impressive.
