DEFENDING EUROPE

WE RECENTLY FINISHED PRODUCING GRAPHICS FOR THE EPIC, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SERIES DEFENDING EUROPE, WITH THE PRODUCTION COMPANY ATOMIC. LIKE MOST NAT GEO SERIES, THIS WAS A VERY GRAPHICS HEAVY PROJECT, AND ULTIMATELY WE CRAFTED OVER 250 SEQUENCES, INCLUDING MAPS, TIMELINES, 3D BUILDS WITHIN TRACKED PLATES,
AND THE MAIN TITLES.

THE MAIN APPROACH FOR MAPS WAS TO EMULATE WORLD WAR II “WAR ROOM” SET UPS, WHERE PHYSICAL MODELS OF TANKS, SHIPS, PLANES AND SOLDIERS, SAT ON PAPER MAP SURFACES, AND WOULD MOVED AS BATTLES PROGRESSED. WHILE NOT ALL OUR MAPS FEATURED 3D FIGURES, THEY ALL HAD PAPERY SURFACES, WITH TEXTURE AND CREASES. OTHER MAPS FEATURED BORDER MORPHS, CHANGING BASED ON INVASIONS AND OCCUPATIONS.
