Troy Story

TV Graphics & Animation | Sky HISTORY

Troy Story is a Sky HISTORY documentary series asking whether the legend that has endured for three thousand years — the Trojan War — actually happened. We created the full TV graphics package, bringing ancient history to life through frame-by-frame animation, detailed historical illustration and dramatic motion graphics, all developed from genuine archaeological reference including classical pottery, ancient maps and period artefacts.

The result is a rich visual language spanning siege battles, the iconic Trojan Horse, navigational maps of the Aegean and fire-lit combat sequences — with compositing and particle effects adding atmosphere and scale. A project that required as much research as it did animation. Troy Story is available on Sky HISTORY, HISTORY Play and streaming platforms worldwide.
