Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation

Motion Graphic Treatment

Stephen Lawrence Day takes place on April 22nd each year, marking the anniversary of Stephen’s death. It is a national moment of reflection and a call to action. Each year, the foundation honours Stephen’s life by inspiring individuals, schools, and communities to drive change. This campaign highlights the transformative power of Stephen’s legacy and shows how education and opportunity can rewrite futures for those who are too often sidelined.

We were privileged to work on the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation’s “Knowledge Changes Everything” campaign, alongside Producer Marcus Jones, Andy Mundy-Castle, and the Doc Hearts team. You can catch the full video now on ITV, Channel 4, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Our role was to elevate this beautifully shot 30-second piece with motion graphic assets that reflected Stephen’s architectural aspirations whilst showing how they can still shape a brighter future for young people today.

For each scene we drew architecturally influenced illustrations in Photoshop which were then composited on to the live action footage in After Effects. Each Illustration consisted of numerous layers so that they could be tracked into the back, mid and foreground of each shot.
