MAN-MADE: Alaska's Extreme Machines

The National Geographic Channel project is in the can. I don't have an air date yet, as soon as I do I'll let ya know. I watched the final cut yesterday, with all of the graphic elements, animations, and the final music tracks. It looks pretty good. Two shout-outs: First to the Executive Producer, David Huntley, who gave me an opportunity to stretch my creative muscles and let me do some writing on the show (and I got credit!). And second to James LaPlante and the crew at Sputnik Animation in Portland, Maine. They put in extra hours and had to survive the recent ice storm (that knocked out power at their offices) to get us our animations in time to deliver the show. OK, check your TV listings for Man-Made: Alaska's Extreme Machines! Nat Geo: Man-Made Sputnik Animation
