Bringing the Classics to Life

My New Channel Intro for NicWhiteClassics

As someone who grew up in the era of clunky camcorders, Saturday morning cartoons, and endless hours in front of the Atari 2600, I’ve always had a soft spot for retro gaming and classic nostalgia. That love inspired my latest project: a fresh, playful channel intro for NicWhiteClassics.

The process started where it always does—my trusty notebook. I sketched ideas, jotted down animation concepts, and mapped out the flow of the intro. From there, I moved into pre-production: designing and preparing custom Atari 2600 cartridge art, setting up a simple shoot using just my iPhone and a custom glass-bottomed rig to capture some unique perspectives.

After the shoot, the fun really began. I edited the footage, added motion graphics, and animated the sequence to bring the Atari magic to life while keeping it personal and nostalgic. Every frame is a nod to the games and memories that shaped my love for visual storytelling.

The result is a channel intro that feels playful, creative, and just a little bit retro—perfect for kicking off the classic gaming adventures you’ll find on NicWhiteClassics.
