This was Roger's second year running post-production on the new season promo for History's Greatest Mysteries, and while it was my first year producing it, it wasn't our first rodeo. As in the previous season, the client wanted a fully CG environment for talent and audience to travel through, one that set the tone for the new season. After boards were approved, we got to work designing each world, carrying over the design elements the client loved from the year before while putting a new twist on them.
Once in production, we made sure the team worked efficiently by repurposing elements from the previous shoot and promo wherever possible so more time could go toward building out the spot itself, which demanded every bit of attention to detail we could give it. We kept communication with the client clear and consistent, reviewing the spot together regularly to talk through notes and changes. With so many moving parts, keeping a clean, precise record of notes and revisions per shot was essential. The spot performed so well that the client came back and asked us to build out another execution from one of the worlds we'd created.
