Foreign Correspondent: Prisoner X

Design and motion sequences for Prisoner X story for Foreign Correspondent, ABC TV. It was great to be part of a team working on such a ground breaking story. The challenge was in creating motion sequences to compensate for a lack of footage.

Up until 8PM on Tuesday February 12, 2013 the identity of an inmate held in a notorious cell inside Israel’s Ayalon Prison was known to only a very select group of people. But when Foreign Correspondent went to air, the secret was smashed and the world would know that Prisoner X was a Melbourne man named Ben Zygier – a Mossad agent held on unspecified charges who’d somehow managed to kill himself in what was reportedly a purpose-built, suicide-proof cell.

Our story rocked Israel, shocked Australia and reverberated around the world. To see entire program click here
