fonejacker

A recent television programme to take E4 by storm is fonejacker. A show that basically sees a man making prank calls. Aside from the great humour of this show, I have become drawn to it for its extremely clever use of imagery to compliment each phone call. For the majority of the calls, 2D moving images are used. These are made up from various pieces of images cut and pasted together to create characters and scenes. These are very clever and witty.

However, it is the ingenious use of random images, used to reiterate what has just been said, that I find most interesting. If you havnt seen an episode of fonejacker then I would strongly recommend watching it, if only for the clever visual aids.

My favorite example from the show is the photo and caption below. (forgetting its use in the show, I find this photo one of the most striking and impressive images I have ever seen. It is extremely emotive and I think it makes for such a strong all round image).
