Project Blue Book

Director

Project Blue Book Series on the History Channel.

About the Series: As the Cold War deepens and the new political threats loom for Project Blue Book, Dr. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) and Captain Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey) must delve further down the UFO conspiracy rabbit hole in their dangerous quest for the truth. Soon, cover-ups from the past (including at Roswell) collide with new UFO cases in the present (including at Area 51), forcing our duo to not only question the multi-faceted layers to a broadening global conspiracy, but the very nature and origin of UFOs themselves in an increasingly unstable world.

Behind-the-scenes Magic

Creating this movie faced a daunting challenge: it required bringing performance-captured giants to a totally-convincing, but entirely, computer animated life. The full range of human expressions were complex with tiny-sized people interacting with the big guys.

The live elements of the production were filmed almost entirely in a 300,000 square foot warehouse on the outskirts of Vancouver that was converted into elaborate sets of Sophie’s London orphanage, the Big Fuzzy-hearted Giant’s lair (in two scales), the mystical Dream Country where the Big Fantasy-delivering Giant collects visions for sleeping children, and perfectly-reproduced interiors of Buckingham Palace.
