False Positive, Vox
False Positive is a 3-part documentary series about the wrongful conviction of Robert Lee Stinson. What do you do when forensic science fails?
Design
While most true crime stories rely on archival footage and reenactments, we didn’t have enough archival assets — so we had to be creative. The charts and diagrams were made with paper texture we created through collage.
Animation
We originally had an idea to use the scanner light as a motive, which connected well with legal themes in the story. The light idea also intersected with the lightbox we used to introduce visual evidence throughout.
