The team finds more regular links to thuggish behaviour and more worryingly strong links to Marine Le Pen’s National Front party.

Panorama – Syria’s Chemical War
Working with the BBC Panorama team we plotted at least 177 Syrian Chemical attacks on our map sequences; subdividing them into years, land or air attacks, different poisons and those corroborated by more than one official source. The end result was projected onto a large studio screen for pieces to camera. This was a joint BBC Panorama & BBC Arabic programme and therefore all the graphics were also supplied with their Arabic translations.

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

Exposure – Great Ormand St. Hospital – EGID
A department treating sick children within Great Ormand Street Hospital has been found mis-diagosing & over treating patients. This documentary from ‘Amazing Productions’ uses our animated explainers to demonstrate how Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease (EGID) is diagnosed and the scale of the problem and number of patients treated by GOSH leading to the closure of this departments. The child-like drawn characters were animated by a traditional hand-drawn method which not only provides the context but also provides charm and warmth to lift the analytical nature of this investigation.

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
