Prodco BKN is attempting to catch the HD wave as it opens up a new London-based facility specifically designed to produce proprietary animated projects. The operation will consist of a fixed-capital investment in high-quality hardware and software, and the plan is to produce two 26-ep series annually. The company’s creative and production staff has already begun extensive training on the ins and outs of working in HD.
First up to get the treatment is Flintstone-esque 26 x 30-minute comic toon Stone Age and its accompanying 80-minute movie, scheduled for a late 2008 delivery.
