Impossible Escapes: Civil War for CuriosityStream
With a less than ten-month production timeline, Wide Awake Films researched, scripted, filmed, and edited this six-part streaming series that debuted on CuriosityStream. The production needs were challenging: horses, ships, historical locations all over the country, the construction of a secret tunnel, and a cast of more than 100 – we gleefully accepted the challenge. Additionally, our VFX team built an 1860s-era steamship from scratch and reconstructed the infamous Libby Prison.
From Start to Finish
Our talented team of researchers, scriptwriters, editors, VFX experts, videographers, animators, and production specialists can create, produce, and release productions of any size. Given our years of experience and time together, we operate as a highly creative and efficient team that can meet and exceed your needs.
In4 Educational Video Series
The American Battlefield Trust, wanting to promote a better understanding of the American Civil War and Revolutionary War, asked us to develop a video style and motion graphic for its In4 series. These popular educational videos have found a whole new audience via YouTube and other social platforms. Short, to the point, and entirely professional, these videos have been watched millions of times.
