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.

Visit History’s Patton 360 site for images and more info.

Égalité for All: Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution premiers on PBS Jan. 25.  Check your local listings for exact airtimes.  The show traces the story of the man at the forefront of the Haitian revolution who changed the course of history.  Pay special attention to the period-style maps.

70′s icon, Spanish guitar virtuosa, and anit-bullfighting crusador Charo has a new song out.  “España Cañi” reached #14 on the dance charts last fall, and Crazybridge did the graphics for the video.  Watch it now on Youtube. 

Ring in the new year with the Brazen Bull, the Electric Chair, and the dreaded Apega of Nabis.  All three episodes of Machines of Malice are airing New Year’s Eve on Discovery.  Go inside the Iron Maiden, experience the Thumb Biter and Skull Crusher, and see how the Guillotine really worked.  The terrifying devices of torture and execution are brought to life through real-world experiments and vivid graphics by Crazybridge.

Stories of Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, Anger, and Pride pop-up to life in the moody realm of “The Seven Deadly Sins.”  Crazybridge Studios created the main title and a series of elaborate 3D pop-up books to illustrate the various sins as well as other design elements.  The series airs all this week at 9pmE/8C.

More info and stills of our work are on the History Channel site.

The first season of Battle 360 will be shipping late July in a handsome boxed set.
