Tales Of The Bow

I produced this award-winning documentary for the Discovery Channel. The programme covered 3000 years of history, so the archer in the titles had to appear reasonably generic. I thought lightning would add a nice touch of drama so I shot blacked-out studio footage of the archer and then blended in the stock weather shots without having to use blue screen.

Saddam and the Third Reich

This was a two-hour Funhouse Graphics production for The History Channel and was mostly archive-based. But this section of the script would have been impossible to illustrate without 3d graphics. The terrain map was based on the actual satellite data of the Habbaniya airfield and its surrounding area, just outside Baghdad.

The first series of Battlefield was made in 1994 and was my first foray into 3d design and animation. The series was Emmy nominated and is still regularly screened throughout the world. Even Stanley Kubrick was a fan. Recently it was given a 3-box set dvd release, which includes the Battlefield Vietnam series, a technologically innovative project for its time.
