The Latest from Crazybridge Studios
TLC is rolling out a pilot for a new reality show about the wild world of the female demolition derby circuit. Crazybridge produced the graphics package as well as the graphics that explain the events: the appliance race, the boat race, and the skid race. The show has a great mix of fuel, fun, feelings and fist-fights, and we hope it’s one of their next big series. Watch The Ladies of Demolition Derby Thursday at 10:00pm Eastern on TLC!
Airborne Toxic Event has just released a new song entitled “Neda” to commemorate the shooting death of Neda Agha-Soltan during election protests in Iran nearly one year ago. Crazybridge designed and animated the video. The illustrations were done by one of LA’s preeminant courtroom artists. All song proceeds go to Amnesty International.
In just its first few hours online, the video is garnering significant attention. Sting posted a link on his Facebook page.

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.
