Today, French channel HD1 (TF1 group) will show a documentary "Tuez Hitler! La Chance du Diable", computer graphics for the film was created by Ukrainian experts at SIGNAL RED.
The film directed by Frédéric Tonolli tells how might have changed the fate of Europe and world, if one of the many attempts to kill Hitler was successful. For 20 years (from 1921 to 1944) there were more than 30 attempts on Fuhrer's life. Most of the ringleaders in the end forfeited their lives of this daring plan. Hitler was incredibly lucky - a few times he was on the brink of death. Still it's interesting how events would have unfolded and how the course of history would have changed if one of the many attempts was successful?
Thanks to computer graphics and visual effects, developed by specialists at SIGNAL RED, authors of "Tuez Hitler! La Chance du Diable" were able to recreate the most vivid scenes of assassination attempts. In particular, a team of Ukrainian designers modeled 2D and 3D animation, did compositing and used chroma key technology to create a historical reconstruction of that time for a French company Sunset Presse.
This was not the first experience of cooperation between SIGNAL RED and European filmmakers. In April, German channel Das Erste aired a documentary "Buchenwald – Heldenmythos und Lagerwirklichkeit", computer graphics for which was also created by a Ukrainian company SIGNAL RED.
