Challenge

It took 37 years to complete the US Capitol when it was originally constructed. We had 6 days. That’s how our relationship started with the January 6th Committee and their supporting team when they called us 6 days before the first hearing asking for help. Thankfully we pulled it off and so much more over the next 6 months. 

We created over 1,000 graphics of all varieties: document reveals, text messages, tweets, emails, maps, collages of content and much more. We also created over six minutes of 3D animation detailing the Capitol, the West Wing, the Oval Office, the White House, and the Willard Hotel. All of which aired live in 10 hearings from June to December.

Our work was shown in the news around the world, lampooned on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and replicated on Saturday Night Live.
