How to buy a football club

Production: Vera Productions
Director: Richard sanders

How exactly does one go about attempting to buy an English football club? Dispatches goes undercover to find out.

Its nice when we get to produce programme graphics that are a little different from our usual delivery method. For this programme we had to provide interactive graphics which the presenter could activate on whiteboard revealing the network which they had uncovered in attempting to buy a Premier league or Championship club.

Murder on Honeymoon

Production: Mentorn.tv
Director: Dimitri Collingridge

Channel 4′s ‘Dispatches’ highlight the case of Anni Dewani’s murder in Cape Town whilst on Honeymoon.

We built Cape Town street maps and extruded the terrain to give a sense of a town in the shadow of ‘Table Mountain’. The sequences where built using 3DS max’s camera to roughly follow the route Anni would have taken before she was murdered; allegedly with the involvement of her new husband.

Tabloids, Tories & Telephone hacking

Production: Blakeway
Director: Richard Sanders

Channel 4′s ‘Dispatches’ team investigate the murky world of tabloid hacks and there relations with government.

To help illustrate the process behind reporters hacking into telephone answering machines we built a complex looking series of number strings, each with their own random counting structure. Within a pseudo 3D environment we were able to place our virtual camera and then send it down a number of linear paths to ape the effect of travelling down a telephone wire only to end with a number of prominent numbers suggesting the answering machine code had been cracked.
