The creatives at Trollbäck + Company enlisted Christopher Webb to help develop and execute in-camera visual effects for the new on-air look of BBC First. Chris and the team at his FX WRX built moving optical mechanics and custom ground glass projection rigs. All effects were originated in-camera, with the BBC First logo etched in glass. They also shot super-slow motion elements for the project.
