Channel 4’s Hugo Ward commissioned us to rebrand the channel’s flagship documentary strand ‘Unreported World’. We thought we would create a series of silhouetted figures inhabiting a diverse landscape which would attempt to suggest that the programmes were concentrating on the normally faceless figures which the news often bypasses or certainly has less time for.

An Al Jazeera undercover team penetrated the network of dealers, agents and traffickers who profit from the multi-million dollar trade in rhino horn in Africa; an illegal business that is decimating the Rhino population close to the point of extinction. The motiongraphics helps define the different individuals involved and show how they relate to each other from poacher, to facilitator, dealer, importer and finally the customers.

This documentary was part of the Black & British season. We worked with the director Steve Grandison to illustrate the near impossibility of a black British infant growing up and becoming our Prime Minister via some quite shocking statistics blocking any advancement. There were eight stand alone animated films produced covering everything from poverty, education, employment and the world of politics.

The way in which millions of pounds were made out of BHS has been branded the ‘unacceptable face of capitalism’. 11,000 people lost their jobs as a black hole opened up in the pension fund. For this expose on the business antics of ‘Sir Philip’ we created a stylised High St. populated by Sir Philip and Lady Green and his business partners. The only character missing was the luxury Yacht but that may happen if we have to revisit the Greens again.

For this programme we built our own CGI television studio which formed the backing for celebrity interviews and off course we created the large hanging studio title which breaks away from it’s supports and crashes downwards providing some indication of what is to follow in this 3 hour extravaganza.

Al Jazeera investigates the islands of Maldives and finds that behind the idyllic destination that attracts so many honeymooners lies endemic corruption. Evidence of this dark side was uncovered on 10GB of data extracted from the former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb’s mobile phone. Our motion graphics were used throughout to detail the SMS conversations, explain how the embezzling works, provide profiles of our main characters and generally to add some stylish welding of the storyline. See evidence below or watch the full documentary here.

Printed panels, cue cards, animated chapter stings, titles, bumpers & animated namestraps formed our contribution to the big C4 debate on the eve of the EU Referendum with Paxo. Everything was built using very simple elements so as to keep the designs quite abstract and unbiased. Moving arrows, UK outlines, stars, stripes and printed dot textures were overlaid allowing multiple colours and patterns to emerge and provide a quite vibrant backing for the nuances of the debate to occur. An ITN Production for C4.

A BBC production, where our graphics helps examine the evidence behind the various theories behind the downing of Malaysia Airlines Fight 17. From looking at doctored images, to proving the validity of real photographs, this project was quite a challenge and I’m guessing the documentary will be forensically poured over by the conspiracy theorists. Please look at some of the highlights below, emphasising our motion graphics input. Produced and directed by Mike Rudin from the BBC.
