The Riviera Maya Gang: Cash, Crime, Killing

The Riviera Maya Gang: Cash, Crime, Killing

June 9, 2020 | Comments Off on The Riviera Maya Gang: Cash, Crime, Killing

This one takes some beating, in terms of the audacity of the scam.  A large scale plan to skim the credit card details from tourists by planting the skimmers inside the ATM’s and then supplying the machines to tourist hotels and banks. This investigation led by Will Jordan from the OCCRP (Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project) tells the tale, and our motion graphics (paying homage to Grand Theft Auto, perhaps) lends some interesting styling and animation to the mix. Here’s a link to the full film on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9jf-RtpPXM

Cricket’s Match Fixers

May 29, 2018 | Comments Off on Cricket’s Match Fixers

Over 18 months of investigations, Medioto worked with Aljazeera’s Investigative Unit and helped reveal how criminal gangs bribe players and officials to fix matches and parts of matches – and make millions from betting on guaranteed outcomes. The initial inspiration for the designs came from Bollywood posters and obviously some of the title text echo the old fashioned scoreboards on the cricket ground. Apart from the obvious title-card, we built profile animations, explainers for the uninitiated cricket fans, test match chapter headings, phone call animations, document/newspaper sequences and the players and authorities ‘right of reply’. There’s a montage below and

The Oligarchs

The Oligarchs

January 8, 2018 | Comments Off on The Oligarchs

Using styling borrowed from agitprop posters from Soviet Russia, Medioto helped Aljazeera’s Investigative Unit unravel a plot hatched by powerful Eastern European oligarchs to make millions of dollars from a crooked deal involving a web of offshore companies and international lawyers to raid US$160 million dollars under the noses of the authorities. The Oligarchs include an exiled gas billionaire guarded by Russian special forces, a Moscow property magnate and an Olympic show jumper on the run from Ukrainian authorities. Throughout these deliberately murky, opaque dealings our motion graphics hopefully simpilfy the processes involved in money laundering and the formation of

Our efforts were spent bringing the specific details in various documents to light which exposed his deeds and often show the turning of a blind eye to his crimes on the part of the clubs and governing
