Title: Drain the Great Lakes ~ Discovery Chanel Canada
Post by: cyphyr on December 09, 2011, 10:47:42 AM
Hi Guys

For a large part of the last year I have been working at 422 South (http://www.422.com/422.php) in Bristol on the show Drain the Great Lakes.
It aired at the beginning of December on Nat Geo in the US and will be shown this weekend on Discovery Channel Canada. The rest of the world will get to see it but I don't know when.
We created some 40 shots making about 12 minutes of CGI footage, almost all in Terragen.

Drain the Great Lakes review in the Toronto Sun (http://www.torontosun.com/2011/12/08/great-lakes-tv-special-enthralling)

It was a blast and a privilege working with the guys at 422 and I hope the opportunity arises again :)
I've not actually seen the final yet so do let me know how it plays out.

Enjoy

Richard

Looking forward to see the results too, as usual I'm very curious about the TG work which obviously was in very good hands :)

Congratulations Richard!

Cheers,
Martin

Great to see this has finally been released. I hope we get to see it in the US soon. For some reason the "behind the scenes" videos aren't working for me. Can anyone else get them to work?

Wife and I watched this on cable about a week or so ago. Was quite well done. And even though I never saw anything that actually said "Terragen", I was fairly sure TG has been used.

Looking forward to that! But I can't get the small videos to work either.

Well done Richard!

I know this one was a bit of a journey, hope you're proud of the result.

All the best mate.
