EUROPE FROM ABOVE

BACK IN 2019, WINDFALL FILMS BROUGHT US IN TO CONTRIBUTE GRAPHICS FOR THE EPIC 6 PART, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PROGRAM EUROPE FROM ABOVE.
SINCE THEN WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO 4 MORE EFA SERIES, EACH BUILDING ON THE CORE LOOK ESTABLISHED IN SERIES 1.

THE SERIES TO DATE, FEATURES STORIES SPANNING DOZENS OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (NETHERLANDS, ITALY, GERMANY, UNITED KINGDOM, SPAIN, POLAND, GREECE, BULGARIA, TURKEY, ON AND ON) THIS AERIAL BASED SERIES, SHOWS US PLACES WE KNOW, BUT HAVE NEVER QUITE SEEN THIS WAY BEFORE.

OUR ROLE WAS TO CRAFT A UNIFIED GRAPHICAL THREAD THAT NOT ONLY CONNECTED EACH STORY TO THE NEXT WITHIN AN EPISODE, BUT ALSO CONNECTED EACH EPISODE TO THE NEXT. WE CRAFTED NO LESS THAN 60 INDIVIDUAL 3D MAP GRAPHICS, THAT FEATURE FLOATING CLOUDS, TYPOGRAPHY, AND SATELLITE IMAGERY PLACED ONTO 3D TOPOGRAPHY.

IN ADDITION TO MAPS, WE CRAFTED DOZENS OF TECHNICAL GRAPHICS THAT EXPLAIN HOW THINGS WORK, SUCH AS THE NETHERLANDS’ FAMOUS WINDMILLS, ENGLAND’S VICTORIAN STEAM ENGINES, AND THE SCOTTISH CANAL LOCK MARVEL, THE FALKIRK WHEEL.

THANKS TO WINDFALL FILMS AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FOR ENTRUSTING ALL THE GRAPHICS TO DINNICK & HOWELLS.
