Het Grote Offensief

Dark Alley Pictures approached Redivider after seeing the Woolmark campaign. They were working on an epic documentary project about an under-exposed part of WWII. The battle for Zeeland.

Their main request was for us to create a 50x50 meter maquette of the battlefield, historically accurate, that could be used to visualize aspects of the story, such as which areas were occupied, troop movements, air-raids, naval attacks and inundation.

We build the map based on information gathered from old archives, populated it with miniature trees and houses that we placed exactly according to the old data sets.

At the same time we worked with the director to figure out all the different plot points that had to communicated, which all had to be 100% historically accurate. Tim Smit created a very detailed previs that was already used in the edit to lock this down.

Based on this, all the final animations and FX were created, which were then lit and comped by our VFX team.
