VICE TV Investigation Night

VICE TV asked GrandArmy to brand their weekly true-crime block, Investigation Night, and build an animation toolkit for its bumpers.

Inspired by the tactile process of sifting through evidence, we developed a motion language that moves on threes — a staggered, staccato frame-rate that feels cryptic and just a little offbeat.

The approach leans into the low-resolution nature of evidence: pixelated JPEGs become paper-cutout puzzles, and blurry videos become risograph flip-books.
