INDIGENES and MVC are currently co-producing through international collaboration an ambitious series about the great naval battles in history. The movie TRAFALGAR (52') is the first part of this exciting new series.
Two other episodes are already in the works- "Actium," a famous battle in 31 B.C. in which Mark Antony and Cleopatra come face to face with Octavian, and "Salamis," a battle in 480 B.C. between the Greeks and the Persians, where Themistocles faces Xerxes. These two new films are being produced with the same process used in Trafalgar: Spatial Compositing, which mixes real actors with virtual backgrounds.
