Imagine your logo's character springing to life to talk about why you make the best subs, or previewing a building on the property before the crew is hired to pour the foundation. These are just a few examples of the type of work we do. There are many uses for animation, and even more for graphics. They both add emphasis to your product, portfolio or sales pitch.
In our documentary "In Their Own Words: The Tuskegee Airmen" we used our computer graphics abilities to recreate parts of individual stories to help the audience visualize what the Airmen were describing. This was an invaluable addition to the documentary and helped to tell the story in a whole different light. One of the most important shots we needed was that of the famed "Redtails" escorting the bombers to their targets. In our stock footage quest, we found no such shots that were usable in the context we needed them. We turned to our 3D capabilities and built the squadron of B-24s and P-51s in the computer, then animated and rendered it to look like 1940s war film. To the right are both a wireframe view and a color still photo from the render. We've continued to implement our graphics and 3D animations into our various projects and documentaries, but none more prevelant than in "Graniteville: Past, Present, Future."
In the past segment, we recreated the town of Graniteville, as it would've appeared in the days of William Gregg, the mid-1840s.
In order to represent the severity and impact the train derailment of January 6, 2005 had on the town of Graniteville, we recreated the accident in 3D space. We used the National Transportation Safety Board's report and findings, and photos and video taken of the train the next morning by South Carolina DHEC employees as our reference as we spent countless hours building the details of the accident, and accident site.
