Crazybridge News

It’s Baby Week on Discovery Health.  Crazybridge designed the main title for Radical Parenting which airs tonight March 3, and Postpartum Nightmares that will be re-broadcast Friday March 5 at 10pm.

Season 2 of Life After People is more spectacular and less people-y than ever.  Be sure to catch the remaining episodes Tuesday nights on History!

As an added bonus, today’s The Onion included a TV listing of their own for the show (I don’t think the time is correct).

This is a preview of next week’s episode “Waves of Devastation”

And some images from previous episodes:

There’s also a Life After People: The Series fan page on Facebook.

“Sniper: Inside the Crosshairs” premiers Sunday, December 20 at 9pm on HISTORY.  This two-hour special examines the weapons, tactics, and science of stealth shooting through the years.  Crazybridge  supplied the CGI for several segments, including the story of Robert Furlong, who shot a Taliban fighter in Afghanistan from over 1.5 miles away — a story he’s never told before on American television.

Both Battle 360 and Patton 360 are available on iTunes for only $0.99 an episode.  Here are the descriptions from iTunes:

Battle 360, Season 1

For nearly a decade, the legendary World War II aircraft carrier USS Enterprise held a pivotal place on the turbulent seas of war, engaging in some of the fiercest multifront battles ever witnessed in modern combat.  The only carrier to be front and center in every major sea conflict in the Pacific, the Enterprise and her crew’s battles were marked by intense firepower, instinct and a 360-coordination between the ship, the destroyers, the aircraft above and the submarines below.  In each of ten episodes, and using incredible CGI visualizations, Battle 360 follows the Enterprise and its men through another conflict of WWII as they fight off the enemy from the air, the sea and underwater.  Episodes include “Vengeance at Midway,” “Bloody Santa Cruz,” “D-Day In the Pacific,” and “Battle of Leyte Gulf.”

Patton 360

Controversial throughout World War II for his personal flamboyance, outspokenness, uncompromising standards, and aggressive combat strategy, George S. Patton played a key role in the headlong Allied armored thrust to Germany after D-Day.  Now, following the success of the series Battle 360, HISTORY brings viewers an epic new series about Patton, one of America’s most famous generals.  Patton 360 weaves a mix of CGI battle scenes, interviews with historians and men who fought under Patton, and commentary by modern-day military experts, offering a dramatic 360-degree view of the brilliant strategy and leadership Patton exemplified as he beat back the Nazi tidal wave in WWII.  Patton 360 not only puts viewers right in the action of the primary battles fought by Patton in North Africa, Sicily and Europe, but also provides them with unique insights into Patton the man, known to his troops as “Old Blood and Guts.”

Tonight’s episode of “Man Made” on Nat Geo traces crude on its journey to becoming a “Gallon of Gas,” from its origins as microscopic diatoms decomposing deep beneath the ocean, to the gigantic oil platforms, and through refineries, with graphics along the way from Crazybridge Studios.  For a sneak peek of the show and the CGI, visit Nat Geo’s site.

Starting this Monday and running for three weeks is the second installment of Discovery’s “Machines of Malice.” See the Human Press, the Bee Basket, the Disembowelment Crank, and the dreaded Strappado in all their 3D glory!

Crazybridge Studios produced a stunning new main title for the current season of The Universe on HISTORY. Watch it premiere tonight! 9E/8C

The second installment of the landmark “Battle 360″ series, “Patton 360″ premieres on History Friday April 10 at 9pm Eastern.

Crazybridge is producing all of the graphics for this 10-episode series, including the full-scale CGI battle reenactments, maps, and 3D diagrams.  We follow Patton’s march through WWII  from the deserts of North Africa, through the hedgerows of France, by land, by sea, by day, night, in sun, rain, snow, and fog.

The largest and most ambitious project Crazybridge has taken on to date, and nearly a year in the making, this show also marks the Studio’s first major foray into character animation.  Unlike the USS Enterprise series last year, most of Patton 360’s battles occur on a more human scale, featuring elaborate environments and intricate animation of soldiers and tanks, Jeeps, and half-tracks in action.
