THE FINAL
ATTACK ON WEMBLEY
The Final – Attack on Wembley brings to life compelling first-hand testimony from fans and F.A. officials with visceral user-generated-content that places viewers at the heart of the action. It tells the dramatic story of a day that started with euphoria, pride and promise but ended in a country reeling on the verge of a national disaster.
​
As part of the creative team, I led the development and creative visual language for the entire film. Some examples of these clips are shown below. They were key elements in accurately telling the story and setting the precedents before the final match. The GFX sequences combined maps, clocks, social media, locations, title treatment, and general mood and visual language. The documentary aired earlier this spring, in May 2024, and reached number 2 in the most-watched programs on Netflix.

Maps
By blending Google Earth with graphic elements, we meticulously crafted a map to delineate the pivotal events and the crowd's progression into the stadium. Additionally, we simulated the security control rooms at Wembley, seamlessly integrating clever graphic elements into the CCTV cameras. This immersive approach transports the audience to the precise moments, evoking a range of emotions from excitement to tension, chaos, and fear. Below are a few clips to demonstrate:
