Pixeldust Studios is proud to announce its 2020 Emmy nominations by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the documentary series Ancient Oceans. While this was a team effort by many members of the Pixeldust team, special congratulations go to the three nominees Ricardo Andrade, Samar Shool, and Mark Andrade.

Made for CuriosityStream, Ancient Oceans is a documentary series that tells the story of the world’s first two mass extinctions, which occurred during the Ordovician and Devonian periods. Exploring the flourishing depths of Earth’s ancient oceans, the series takes the audience on a journey where creatures previously confined to the seas began to make their way onto land. A story of life, death, and life re-born, the team visualized this complex underwater world through a captivating series of sequences animated through CGI.
