Summer 2008

Model Unit Supervisor Mike Tucker, Model Unit Cameraman Peter Tyler and Senior Modelmaker Nick Kool are amongst the team nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Television Series for their work on Discovery Channel's Human Body - Pushing the Limits, produced by Dangerous Films. In this heavyweight category, the competition comes from Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Jericho, Stargate: Atlantis and The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The award ceremony takes place on September 13th in Los Angeles.

 

The portfolio pages of the website cover all aspects of filming on Human Body - Pushing the Limits, and you can see how the digital effects for the show were created on the Rushes website. The show is available for sale on DVD and Blu-ray from the Discovery Channel website.

 

We are delighted to be working with Dangerous Films again on their forthcoming drama for ITV1, marking the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Directed by Richard Dale, and with production design by Tim Goodchild, Moonshot is due to premiere during the summer of 2009 and stars Daniel Lapaine, Andrew Lincoln, James Marsters and Anna Maxwell Martin.
