Peter Strain ‘Death Of A Showjumper’ Title Sequence

Title sequence for the Sky Studios documentary series investigating the tragic death of promising young, horse-loving jockey, Katie Simpson.

I designed and directed the animation using a combination of hand-drawn elements edited through Photoshop and After Effects.

Thank you to Walk On Air, Northern Ireland Screen and Sky Studios for having me involved in such a brilliant project and a special mention to series director Niamh Kennedy, who was incredibly supportive of my work and a joy to collaborate with.

The series is a Walk On Air and Sky Studios production in association with Northern Ireland Screen.

The Executive Producers are Rachel Hooper and Jonathan Smith for Walk On Air, Vesna Cudic for Sky Studios and Bruce Fletcher for Sky.

The series is directed by Niamh Kennedy and produced by Natalie Maynes.
