Being James Bond

FORMAT.LDN was commissioned by Special Treats Productions to create the graphics package for an in-depth documentary exploring Daniel Craig’s time as James Bond. Focusing on the making of the role and its impact on both Craig and the producers behind the franchise, the film required a considered visual treatment that could support a more reflective, behind-the-scenes narrative.

Our work spanned a range of graphic elements, including press-based breakdowns and supporting on-screen content. A key part of the process involved cleaning up and reconstructing press clippings, refining them into a more polished and cohesive visual language for screen.

Working closely with director Baillie Walsh, we also developed a series of animated breakdowns designed to draw out key moments from interviews and dialogue, adding clarity, rhythm and emphasis to the storytelling. The result was a restrained but purposeful graphics package that added depth and visual structure to the documentary without overpowering the material.
