mh... i mean TV , television.
(you know, sports, talkshows, some crappy movies, and mostly rubish)
i am working on a corporate identity project for a tv channel, and i am in the need of some examples... specially styleguides for the animation stuff (sorry, i dunno the english word)

'idents' may help your search.

iDTV - interactive digital telly.
i.e. sky, freeview, etc. (UK)

You can download the bbci styleguide here - it's written specifically for interactive tv but there is some good general tv branding stuff in there.

thanks guys!
i will take a look.... actually the project is about the whole identity but as well about the art direction of the whole motion graphics. we have to define style of everything in it (motion, rythm, music, graphic elements....).
how can i define a huge amount of animated elements without developing any animation?
mmhh (still thinking and fighting against this damned hungover.........)

"how can i define a huge amount of animated elements without developing any animation?"
storyboards?
- JamesEngage0
and this sounds equally painful.

yeah, ok, storyboards, but i think they are too limited for such a purpose....
- smellvetica0
well do some animation then! :)
- JamesEngage0
you'd of got them done by now.
- vespa0
make animatics: animated storyboards - just to show cuts, zooms, pans etc

mhhhh...... i think i gotta think and think and think and smash this stupid bad mood
thanks again guys...

why not just try and explain it using lots of "kinda' and sortalike" coupled with exaggerated hand jestures - you cant go wrong!
- JamesEngage0
and use a bar chart.
- jg_20
yes, that should be right... but you never know. some clients are this kind of stupid...
(one time i had to explain that white means white. snow, clouds, paper.....)

(jul 26 04, 07:15)hell that's the way producers usually brief designers - why can't we explain our ideas back to them that way?
