Thursday Nite Live Intro
(Season 18)
This is the opening titles sequence for the 18th season of Hofstra University’s late-night sketch comedy television show Thursday Nite Live. I directed and edited the sequence, and worked as part of the camera team. I also did all of the motion graphics work you see on the titles. This was created as an homage to the opening titles for SNL’s 44th Season, created by Pentagram. The sequence mirrors SNL’s intro, by combining a black-and-white motif with still freeze-frames that look like colorized film. Shooting this intro took place in one night, with four camera crews across 8 different locations. An abundance of fantastic footage was cut down to make this intro feel concise.
