Intel joined forces to National Geographic to develop documental series about making a meaningful impact in the society by solving real problems in the city through art, design and technology. We tackled important problems of São Paulo as immigrant’s anonymity, dark dangerous spots and LGBT issues.

As an authentic National Geographic Channel series, Hack The City had to be aligned to its contents and core values. The series addresses important and alarming issues of the city, so we chose to shoot in a way in which we captured the beauty through impactful images to touch the audience deeply. In addition, the content is about design and urban arts which naturally reflected in its photography.

HTC is a weekly mini-series with 4 15-minute episodes. Each episode focuses on an urban intervention conceived by a creator who uses a computer to design the project. Hack The City goes beyond the screen and makes a real impact in people’s lives. It was released on September 12th 2018 on National Geographic Channel Brazil and its website simultaneously.

The show is essentially about real issues and real life. So, the post-production was designed to bring the audience closer to Sao Paulo’s reality. We’ve put some grain and texture to make it more cinematographic, deep and emotional. The graphic elements are a metaphoric mix of city streets traffic and data traffic inside a processor.
