Netflix's American Manhunt GFX

It has been quite a journey designing and animating numerous GFX assets for Netflix’s American Manhunt - The Boston Marathon Bombing’.
A three episodes docu series created by director Floyd Russ and executive producer Tiller Russell.

Grit, dark and effective were the main keywords that led us designing stylized and detailed 2d maps of major areas of events that took place in Boston during and after the Marathon in April 2013.

We were also asked to design and animate floating rotoscoped names of many protagonists respondents, lower thirds, dates, locations names, and hour-counters that counted up in a dramatic way from Zero Hours to 101 Hours.
Ultimately we had to re-create several social media UI, chats, messages transmissions, that during 2013 events people used both to help out the FBI but also to investigate by themselves.
