Project#1: Your TV Station ID /Logo & Bumper

PROJECT RATIONALE:
A commercial bumper (often shortened to bump) usually two to fifteen seconds, is placed between a pause in the program and its commercial break. It may take the form of a brief announcement or appearance of a station or sponsor logo. The host, the program announcer, or a continuity announcer states the title of the presentation, the name of the program, and the broadcast network. Bumper music, often a recurring signature or theme music segment, is nearly always featured. Bumpers can vary from simple text to short films.
An eyecatch, a term used in Japan, is a bumper scene used to begin and end a commercial break in a Japanese TV program, especially in anime and tokusatsu shows. The term refers to all kinds of commercial bumpers. Eyecatches are almost always produced by the production company and considered a part of the program itself, rather than a segue into a commercial break.
