Netflix – Adolescence

A bold and visually rich featurette celebrates the cultural footprint of adolescence, created in collaboration with Once Upon a Time and Netflix.

We developed a series of motion graphics designed to highlight the series’ critical success and real-world impact.  From data-driven visuals to stylised quotes, we illustrated the show’s influence on audiences and the broader conversation around youth identity and mental health.

A key creative challenge – and highlight – was seamlessly integrating these graphics into live-action footage.  Working closely with editorial, we composed elements directly into scenes, maintaining the single-take aesthetic that defines the original drama. Every frame was carefully considered to preserve pacing tone and emotional impact.

BUILDING ON this success, we were subsequently commissioned to create a wide range of additional graphics content for a 28-minute programme produced for the US market. This programme was broadcast during the Emmy Awards pre-show build-up. This expanded featurette required an extensive volume of bespoke sequences, further developing our established creative language while ensuring consistency and clarity throughout a longer-form narrative.

The Making of Adolescence featurette went on to win an international primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Short Form Non-Fiction or Reality Series category – a recognition of both the collaborative effort and the project’s cultural resonance.

This project was all about balance: adding clarity and context without breaking the spell of the story. It was a rewarding collaboration on a piece that truly resonated.
