Lincolns Final Week
April 1865. The last seven days of Abraham Lincoln — rebuilt frame by frame, to broadcast standard, for one of America's largest news networks.
The brief
Newsmax commissioned a documentary on the final week of Abraham Lincoln's life — a period no camera ever recorded, and one that had to look unquestionably real on a national news broadcast.
What we did
We reconstructed 1865: faces, uniforms, gaslight, weather and film grain, built to hold up at broadcast resolution and to move like footage that was always there. Every shot directed, not stumbled into — the history researched, the image authored.
The result
A dramatisation with the weight of the real, delivered to broadcast standard for a US national news network. Proof that AI, in the right hands, can carry a broadcast — not cheapen it.
Produced for Newsmax, one of America's largest news networks — whose media properties reach more than 50 million Americans.
