Completion!

Hello everyone!
It's done! We completed the making of all 3 programmes. This leaves the transmission date. At the moment it is some time in October however, number wise is undecided. I'm sure as soon as I know, I will post some more information for it.
Whilst you wait, here is the poster for the programmes.

Grading and Online Edit Completed!

Afternoon all!
Today we finished the grading and the online edit of the programmes. Completing the grading means that the colours will look exceptional especially if you have a high definition TV. The completion of the online edit also means that all the visual effects are complete making the completion of the programme, ever that bit closer.

Sound Mix!

Hello!
Yesterday we completed the 5.1 surround sound mix for all three programmes. We opted for the added dimension of 5.1 surround sound to enhance the experience for the viewer - machine gun bullets whizzing over your head or creeping strings of the original soundtrack coming up around you as you hear tales from the POWs.

Compositing to be finished!

Today we finish the compositing for the shots in the documentaries. This is where we have filmed shots in a studio using green or blue screen and placed them into other footage to make it appear as if it were real. It's looking amazing.

Narration!


Hello all!
Yesterday we spent the day recording narration for each programme. We had the privilege of having an amazing guest offer his voice, Bernard Hill.

You may recognise him from films such as Titanic and Lord Of The Rings! It was a real pleasure.

Long Awaited Update

Hi everyone!
We apologise for the long delay of updating this production blog. A little bit snowed under with all the fine progress we have made.
The offline edit for programme 1: Capture and programme 2: Captives has been completed. This means that the narrative of each programme has been finalised. This leaves the magic of grading to make it look lovely. It also means that the sound can be pushed into production allowing us to neaten and perfect it's quality in GLORIOUS HD.
