A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born:
January 1, 1933
Bernard Lodge graduated from the Royal College of Art, and went on to work for the BBC from 1959 to 1977. Known for his work on the television series Doctor Who, he designed the first four series logos, and the first five title sequences between 1963 and 1980. After leaving the BBC, Lodge set up a production company with Colin Cheeseman, in Soho. A pioneer in designing for computer graphics, which was still in its infancy, he worked on a variety of projects including effects for Ridley Scott's Alien, and Bladerunner. A innovator of graphic design in television, in 1974, he won a Royal Television Society Award for Best Graphics. These days Bernard can be found exploring the art of printmaking from his studio in Brighton.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
