    thanks a lot!
    with bugs or snipes I can’t find examples with video but only with motion graphics… I have to project something with a video of a person on green screen and motion graphics all around it. Maybe there’s another way to call them?
    thanks!

    Not sure if you’ll be able to pull one up online very easily. Record a few hours of TV and you’ll likely catch a few. Check shows on YouTube too.

    Also if you are supplying a “bug” to a broadcaster make sure to get and understand their specifications for how they need it as an element.

    I’m the client ☺ I work in a tv as motion designer and I’ve to explore this kind of elements, maybe announcing the next tv show. We will play them onair by VizRT. Maybe I’ve seen something like that in some tv shows (maybe “Master chef”?!) but I still can’t find examples with hosts strike a pose…!!
