Movie Foundry hit the ground running with Ground Warfare

Whale client, CGI studio Movie Foundry, has recently created a set of visuals for "Ground Warfare", a four part documentary for Granada.

Movie Foundry, part of the Image Foundry Studios Group, created 26 graphics and 22 graphical maps, for the series which explores the history of war, and is a sequel to the highly successful, "War Planes".

"The graphics were used to visually explain the narrative; therefore the brief was to be as clear, concise and understandable as possible," said Anand Kapoor, who manages the Mumbai base. "To meet the brief we went back to basics, stripping down the design rather than using complex new technologies; this gave the end result authenticity."

Movie Foundry was also commissioned to design and produce the opening title sequence and contributed to the creative style of the programme.

Ground Warfare, which runs to the 24th November, traces the evolution of warfare from ancient Egypt to modern - day Afghanistan and studies our development of 3,500 years of conflict.
