Swindlers
A three-part documentary series streaming on Netflix (featuring in the UK top 10) & RTE. The series explores the stories of three infamous Irish con artists from the 1990s. We developed the title sequence and supporting visual language.
Inspired by the investigative nature of the documentary, the design draws on themes of evidence gathering and reconstruction, gradually revealing the layers of each con as the story unfolds.

Strategy
The challenge was to make the sequence feel as intricate and meticulous as the cons themselves, creating a sense that every detail had been carefully uncovered. A hand-crafted approach gives the visual language a bespoke, tactile quality, reflecting the complexity and individuality of each story.
Beautiful cinematography from All Kind Media helped create the sequence, subtle time shifts and transitions hint at the movement between past and present within the narratives.
