Michael Lynn: The Fugitive (2024)
Motion Graphics Designer
Lloyd Edgar designed and animated the motion graphics for Michael Lynn: The Fugitive, a two-part investigative documentary series broadcast on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player. Directed by Trevor Birney and produced by Fine Point Films for RTÉ, the series tells the story of fugitive Irish solicitor Michael Lynn — who defrauded high-street banks of €80 million and disappeared overseas — and the international pursuit that brought him to justice.
The investigative nature of the documentary required extensive motion graphics support: animated maps tracking Lynn's movements from Ireland to Portugal, Bulgaria and Brazil; infographic timelines charting the rise and fall of his property empire; and on-screen visualisation of complex financial fraud structures spanning multiple jurisdictions.
The series premiered on RTÉ One on 6 January 2025.
Michael Lynn: The Fugitive is available on RTÉ Player.
