It will consist of six films (6x50 min) dedicated to the most important political murders and assassinations in world history. Among the main characters are Gaius Julius Caesar, Alexander II, Archduke Ferdinand, Indira Gandhi, Catullus, Theodore Roosevelt and others.
Leo Tolstoy once said: "Kings are the slaves of history". And not only the life of a man endowed with the power affects the destiny of nations and peoples, but also his death. It is not known what would have been the history of Europe, if Archduke Ferdinand stayed alive. What path would U.S. choose if Roosevelt was shot. And what would happen to the Roman Empire if Caesar stayed alive. However, history does not know the subjunctive mood and we have nothing more but a detailed analysis of the events. That is the focus of the creators of the series "The history of assassinations".
Just like in "Great Dreamers" and "The history of criminalistics" Signal RED plans to reconstruct historical events with lots of computer graphics. In the teaser of the project on the assassination of Theodore Roosevelt during the election campaign in 1912, Signal Red demonstrated how using a specially developed for the project visualization techniques help to show the moment of the assassination from all possible angles and scales - from the plan of the city to the anatomy of the wounds of the victim. Acting on a digital model that recreates the exact circumstances of the assassination, the host together with the audience can investigate the finer nuances of the tragic event. And "digital extras" in this space is created using three-dimensional scanning of actors involved in the shooting.
"The unique technology is not an end in itself for us - says creative producer Eugene Sannikov. - They only allow us to create a high quality product with a very reasonable budget".
As for now the project is in a pre-production stage. The company is negotiating for co-production with Ukrainian and foreign partners and broadcasters.
