Beautiful work, no luck required

This month the 422 in house team have been kept very busy lavishing attention on Finestripe's work for the BBC Scotland documentary Teenage Millionaire: The Year I won the Lottery.


Filmed, produced & directed by Matt Pinder, the programme follows 17-year-old Jane Park, who scooped £1,000,000 with her first ever lucky dip. There are adventures in Benidorm and Magaluf and a love affair with a chihuahua called Princess as we follow Jane over the course of her first year as a millionaire and as she tries to figure out what to do with her new-found wealth.


The programme received VIP treatment from the entire team including offline edit by Joe Speirs, a grade from Ian Ballantyne, sound design by John Cobban and graphics from Nick Munro.

RUSSELL BRAND'S WAR WITH THE WAR ON DRUGS

We've been helping BBC Three investigate the war on drugs, in a new show airing now and available on the iPlayer. Produced and directed by Ross Wilson for Matchlight.

 Russell Brand War on Drugs

Tackling a very personal issue, Russell Brand examines how other countries tackle drug abuse, and how the implicit framework of criminalization harms the treatment of addicts.

As well as joining Metropolitan Police raids and meeting young British addicts, he travels to Berne, Switzerland to see one of their 'drug consumption rooms' and ultimately meets with Nick Clegg, discovering just how resistant the powers that be are to any change in attitude.


End the Drugs War showcases our talented in-house team with sound design by Will Cory and picture finishing by Ian Ballantyne & Neil Allan.
