I am working on a historical documentary film about arctic exploration in the 1920s. The majority of the documentary will be original film and photos from the expedition accompanied by modern interviews from arctic experts and descendants of the explorers. Many of the most dangerous parts of the expedition were obviously not caught on camera, I would like to have animations made to play over the audio accounts of the events. Some of these events are listed below to give an example. The animations would be in an etching style.
Polar bear attacks
Falling into crevasses
Plane crashes
Depending on how many animations it is possible to make, the production may be willing to increase the budget.
