Client: BBC Studios Documentary Unit
Jump has created the logo animation and all of the programme graphics for Murder Case: The Digital Detectives produced by BBC Studios Documentary Unit for Channel 4. This three part, next generation crime series reveals the ground-breaking digital techniques helping police solve murders on Britain’s streets.
In a rapidly evolving technological world, it is up to digital detectives to stay one step ahead of their suspects and be ever ready to innovate to catch the killers across online networks, digital phone footprints, voice messaging, texts, and DMs, in a new type of murder investigation fuelled by clues left by our high tech lives.
Telling the inside stories of three individual landmark cases, Murder Case: The Digital Detectives follows the police officers and digital forensics experts as they track their suspects through their virtual trails. Each episode has privileged access to a different force; Nottinghamshire Police, Police Scotland, and Thames Valley Police, giving a unique national view of contemporary policing.
The explainer graphics allow viewers to visualise the data matrix, moving between the real and virtual world, to build and create a digital crime board. Throughout each episode, these sequences help connect the evidence and bring to life the revelatory breakthroughs in the detectives’ investigations.
David Skinner – Art Director at Jump:
“We were tasked with designing and creating a large amount of complex visual evidence to help the viewers understand the intricacies of unravelling a murder case in the digital world.
We centred on designing a stylised, eye-catching, on-screen graphics package that would be easy to understand. Cinema4D and AfterEffects were combined to create geologic mapping of crime scenes using LiDAR information, and the expansion of information gathered from mobile phones and CCTV footage evidence.”
The title sequence was created by Territory Studio.
Jump designed and animated the logo / end caption and all of the series explainer graphics.
