Working with Locomotive Film, we created the titles and animated maps for Holidays Unpacked, a new travel show on Channel 4 that road tests up-and-coming travel destinations on a £1k budget.

Channel 4 Dispatches – ‘Is Britain Full?’ infographics
ITN asked us to create a set of light hearted and informative graphics for Channel 4’s Dispatches.
Based around a simple balancing scales device, the graphics illustrate some of the key issues and concerns related to the population imbalance in the UK.
NatWest – ‘Money Bites’ financial guides
A characterful question mark leads us through a number of property related money matters in this series of animated videos for NatWest.
From Remortgaging to Stamp Duty, Money Bites provides an amusing and informative guide to help people navigate the complex and jargon filled world of property.
Working with our friends at Green Rock, we developed the distinctive NatWest question mark into a lively animated character to help guide us through each subject. The spots were then built into a number of templated videos that feature on NatWest’s Facebook page.
Tricks of The Restaurant Trade – Season 3
Back for a third season, TOTRT returns with more tips on how to get the best dining experience for your money.
Working with Betty, our graphics include a set of animated titles, bumper, stings and in-programme graphics.
Playcraft Live – Graphic packaging
Playcraft Live is an exciting new project to create the world’s first play inside Minecraft.
The play was performed live on stage at The Playhouse Theatre in Derry/Londonderry and screened online as part of a global livestream event.
To accompany the production, we created a playful and energetic graphics package based around the distinctive Minecraft cube. The graphics included title stings, multi-screen templates, transitions and on-screen announcements.
Channel 4 – Rio 2016 Paralympics ‘Superhuman’ social stories
The Superhumans return for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games on Channel 4.
Reuniting with 4Creative, we produced a series of social media captions and subtitles as part of their stunning campaign that goes well beyond sport. Our task was to advance the social branding we first created for them nearly a year ago and reflect the Rio 2016 brand colours within the typography.
The films we worked on included a series of 12 short Superhuman Stories and a set of adrenaline packed promos, featuring nostalgic moments from the 2012 Games in London.
Middlechild Productions – Logo update
We’ve just finished a new logo update for TV production company, Middlechild Productions. They asked us to revamp their existing graphic logo into something more impactful with loads of photographic detail.
Based on the neon sign from the famous Public Market in Seattle, we used a mix of 3D and photography to create their very own imposing sign set against a panoramic landscape.
We created a number of versions ranging from full width banners to small avatars for web and social media as well as simplified graphic versions for print.
ST Dupont – Website sizzle reel
Web designers Taylor Thomas wanted a way to show off their snazzy new website for exclusive accessories designers, ST Dupont.
Rather than navigating someone through the whole site they asked us to create a sizzle reel to provide an overview of the content and user experience.
Combining screen capture and bespoke animation we worked closely with the client to map out the journey and add any necessary flourishes.
Channel 4 / Thanks 4 – Peep Show and Inbetweeners VRM’s
After launching the ‘Thanks 4’ rewards hub, the guys at Channel 4 wanted to post their rewards on social sites. Working closely with 4Creative we produced two fun, sharable trails for giveaways including Marks’s sofa from Peep Show, and Jay’s tshirt from the Inbetweeners 2 movie.
The bold typographic style allowed us to narrate both trails without the aid of audio and create lively, attention grabbing sequences.

All 4 – Promo packaging
All 4 asked us to design and develop a new promo packaging solution that caters for trails which aren’t suited to the current ‘small screen’ format used throughout the network.
After numerous tests we settled on a combination of two distinct branded elements. An elegant central tagline featuring the device icons and caption, and a bespoke All 4 endboard branded individually for each network channel. Click here to read more.
