The document is a production log for a motion graphic sting created by Alex Nesbit for a BTEC course. It describes the process of developing the graphic over several dates from finding and tracing images to assembling animated characters and adding final touches like speech bubbles and footage. The sting was created in Illustrator and involves a shark threatening people with the E4 logo until being discarded on a storyboard at the end.
