Brief Help create a colourful new title sequence for the T20 Blast cricket season, which includes cricket balls exploding as they are hit by batsmen and bursts of paint as balls hit stumps.

How it was done Artem technicians produced a range of different viscosities of liquid and a number of devices for the shoot. These were used to fire, splash and pour the ‘paint’ over cricket equipment that had been sealed with a coating so it could be wiped clean to allow for quick resets between takes. They also created 10 cricket balls made from thin shatter plastic to create a key high-speed shot of a ball exploding into a shower of colour on impact with a cricket bat. To speed up the shoot, Artem carried out research with its in-house high-speed analysis camera.
