Fugitive: The Mystery Of The Crypto Queen is a Channel 4 production, and tells the story of Ruja Ignatova, the Bulgaria-born German entrepreneur and creator of the pseudo cryptocurrency OneCoin. Ruja disappeared in 2017 along with billions of dollars of investors’ money, catapulting her to the top of the FBI’s most wanted list. What happened to Ignatova? Has she changed her appearance or is she hiding in plain sight? Is she still at large? Is she still alive?
Sky Post Production were delighted to be asked by Dare Pictures and Tondowski Films to provide offline, full post and graphics for a story described by The Times as ‘one of the biggest scams in history’. The motion graphics were a huge part of the job and support the driving of this complex and twisting narrative. Read on to find out how we did it:
Hear from the team
I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Sky Post Production team on a three part limited series for Sky Germany and Channel 4. The post schedule and workflow was superbly managed and the entire team from the tech assistants to the graphic designers went above and beyond to ensure we delivered to a high level, on time and on budget. I look forward to working with the team again in the future.
