Fantastic! I saw this last night – it got my attention, and I wondered who created it.

... and now I know, nice one Devilfish!

This advert was animated by Daniel Binns at Wonky Studios. His website can be seen here.

World War II poster meets Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock.

No one can ever match Saul for style,
but it's really quite spiffing.

Now where did I put my ration book?

I love this poster -- Lee Edwards is 'wicked' -- a unique creative thinker of our time -- well done.

Great animation, although I think it's restrictive to say it's Saul-bass-inspired as it obviously draws from lots of other looks and feels from the 50's and 60's. Well done.
I saw it last night and thought it was fantastic that BBC commissions such great work to promote a radio show.

Can anyone tell me what the music is? Could be Hitchcock (Vertigo)?
