DIGS & DIVES

DISCLAIMER: NO, THAT’S NOT FOOTAGE.

Please forgive our emphatic tone, but it’s important to clarify that this History Channel promo package is entirely photo-real CGI! [many have understandably mistaken it for stock footage, but of course, that’s the highest praise one could offer right?]
‍
With History Channel’s massively popular programming block, ‘Digs & Dives,’ we’ve crafted a visually and emotionally engaging promo package that captures the essence of discovery, binding three distinct shows into one cohesive identity. Dive in, dig deep, and uncover the secrets that lie beneath!
‍
The three shows, ‘The Curse of Oak Island’, ‘Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters’ and ‘Lost U-Boats of WWII’ all share an obsession with exploration and curiosity. Our goal was to create an aesthetic and motion theory that binds the shows together, crafting a unified visual narrative through a robust and consistent style under the ‘Digs & Dives’ umbrella brand.
‍
The design philosophy centers on delivering a visceral experience. Rich textures, deep color palettes, and immersive, photo realistic CG were employed to make viewers feel the grit of the earth and the chill of the water. The central theme of ‘Always Descending’ drives our motion theory, creating a sense of relentless exploration. This concept keeps viewers engaged, always anticipating the next reveal.
