When Ancestry.com wanted to commission a project commemorating the 150-year anniversary of the Civil War's start, they identified Blind as the ideal company to design and execute the animation/vfx-intensive job. The result is a lyrical, moving and informative piece (presented alternately as a 4:00 long-form Web documentary, a :30, and a :15 spot) about the bloody conflict using the true stories of three soldiers, set against a backdrop of sepia-tinted stills, historical footage and documents culled from millions of records.
