EagleEye Studios completed the Title Design and Show Open animation for the uniquely titled Seven Dwarfs of Auschwitz.

Client: Smithsonian Channel

Creative: For this project, EagleEye Studios first tracked client-provided footage of a flyover of the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz. Using that track, we integrated 3D text into the scene as well as a inserted a sun rising over camp to signify the hope the prisoners must have had to endure such suffering. Lastly, grading and color correction were applied to match both the time period and mood of the show.

Story: The Ovitz family were a family of Jewish actors/traveling musicians who survived imprisonment at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. Most of them were dwarfs. They were the largest family of dwarfs ever recorded and were the largest family (twelve family members from a 15-month-old baby to a 58-year-old woman) to enter Auschwitz and to survive intact.
