Directors Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing at Impactist: “Earlier this year we were kindly asked and tasked by folks at FX with reinterpreting the trope-filled landscape of true-crime series graphics for The Most Dangerous Animal of All.

“This four-part documentary based on Gary Stewart’s best-selling book of the same name focuses on the story of a man discovering the potential reality his own father was the notorious Zodiac killer.

“We produced an episodic package composed of original photography and hand-drawn ciphers, further manipulated with rips, tears, and abrasions to reinforce the menacing tone of the series.

“Fortunately, for this project, the Impactist image archive was available to supply the needed textures and analog photography we would use to complete the package. Opportunities like this also reinforce what we feel is a good habit: to be continually making images and cataloging them for future needs.”
