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.
