Concrete Pictures Brings CG to Discovery Channel [Interview with
Creative Director Matt Hall]
Television programming has become more exciting, and computer
graphics have surely come to play a big part. Many times the
promotional trailers and end tags can be just as entertaining as
the programming itself. This is certainly true of two recent series
on Discovery Channel, "Deadliest Catch" and "I shouldn't Be
Alive."
