Press Release from Keyframe Digital Productions
Niagara-On-The-Lake, ON, June 29 -- Digital animation and visual effects studio Keyframe Digital Productions has been tapped by Universal Media Studios to create visual effects for the new Sci Fi Channel supernatural drama "Warehouse 13," according to Keyframe co-founders Clint Green and Darren Cranford. The show's first season will be comprised of 11 hours produced by Universal Cable Productions and shot in Toronto.
The series is set to debut July 7.
Keyframe will perform all visual effects work, including on-set supervision with Green serving as visual effects supervisor and Cranford as director of visual effects. Executive producers are Jack Kenny and David Simpkins. Mark Winemaker is producing. Mark Stern is the executive VP of original programming for the Sci Fi Channel.
"Warehouse 13" tells the fantastic story of a pair of Secret Service agents who are suddenly promoted and relocated to South Dakota after saving the life of the President. Their mission is to find, collect and preserve mysterious and magical artifacts and relics and bring them to Warehouse 13, a massive, top-secret government storage facility. The series stars Eddie McClintock ("Bones") as agent Pete Lattimer and Joanne Kelly ("Jeremiah," "The Dresden Files") as agent Myka Bering. Saul Rubinek ("Frasier," "Psych," "Leverage") is the caretaker of Warehouse 13, Artie Nelson.
"The incredible objects the agents must find are charged with mystical and supernatural properties and powers," said Green. "Keyframe's challenge is to employ the technological magic of visual effects to bring these objects to life visually in a way that will make believers of the audience."
Keyframe recently created 35 VFX shots for Discovery Channel's two-hour television movie "Deadliest Sea." The studio also delivered 184 VFX shots for the four-hour NBC mini-series, "XIII," starring Stephen Dorff ("World Trade Center," "Blade") and Val Kilmer ("Red Planet," "Batman Forever").
