For our children's TV show, we had to think of an idea for the set that would make it reasonably obvious as to what it was and realistic to make as many Children's shows today are bombastic and exuberant. We considered the idea of making a whole set and toyed with the idea of puppets, much like popular TV show "Yo Gabba Gabba," however in the end we thought that this would not be time or cost effective as it involve a lot of preparation and space to able to pull it off while looking good. If it didn't look realistic it would bring down the whole standard of the music video.
We then reflected on our own childhood and looked at presenter-based children programs, such as Milkshake or CITV. These sets were much simpler in design as the backdrops were usually mad out of drawings and pictures sent in by children, as well as the camera rarely moving, incorporating one shot for the entire time of filming. This would be much easier to produce and would look much more realistic with the technology we have available.
We produced our own imitations of children's drawings.
