David Attenborough’s Natural History Museum Alive

We have created many feathered creatures through the years, and our track record helped us secure some amazing sequences in Colossus Production’s groundbreaking factual entertainment production “Sir David Attenborough’s Natural History Museum Alive” –  made in stereoscopic 4K. Our team was responsible for creating and bringing to life several extinct animals, including both the legendary Archaeopteryx and the iconic Dodo.

We all think we know how the extinct Dodo looked, but in “Sir David Attenborough’s Natural History Museum Alive” the legendary naturalist shows us an all new view of the iconic bird based on the latest scientific research. We worked closely with the world’s most renowned Dodo experts to bring the poor old bird back to life, all in stereoscopic 4K. And it resulted in the most accurate recreation of a Dodo ever made on film. This is a look behind the scenes of how we did it.

We don’t make dreams come true.

We make them real. And if you like what you’ve seen us do for others, imagine what we could do for you. Because what we’ve done is only the starting point. We are constantly reinventing our expertise and using it in previously unknown ways, blurring the edges between what’s real and what’s possible. All you have to do is watch, because we’re not just aiming for the rainbow – we want to go beyond. Contact us
