BossaNova Media has boarded a new eight-part “mystery-history” series from Like A Shot that uses CGI to reanimate ruins from the ancient world.
Ruins Rise And Fall emerged out of one of the company’s Development Days. For the first time, BossaNova is guaranteeing the whole production budget for the show, pointing to its belief in its international appeal. The show promises “hyper-realistic digital restorations” of ancient ruins in eight locations.
Paul Heaney, BossaNova CEO and founder, said: “Some projects you invest in are bit of a risk, Ruins Rise And Fall isn’t one of them. Using cutting-edge technology to reinvent the sub genre and to fulfil a need that we feel is there but due to a lack of commissions in this area, isn’t. This is where BossaNova can work its magic. Like A Shot delivered the evergreen, returning worldwide hit Abandoned Engineering over 10 years ago (following a brief from that Channel 7 Australia legend, Angus Ross). The rest is history… or rather history and engineering. If I had a TV channel, I’d buy Ruins Rise And Fall.”
