Mentioned this in the Dinosaur Thread for anyone who looks there, but I think it deserves its own thread here.
So since the 1990s, it seems like the turn of the decade has become the time to release a new wave of paleontology nature documentaries, and this new indie project called Forgotten Bloodlines: Agate looks like it's going to be a worthy entry alongside BBC Earth's upcoming Favreau-directed dinosaur documentary, Prehistoric Planet.
From the trailer description:
"Forgotten Bloodlines: Agate" is an almost entirely CGI documentary film focusing on prehistoric creatures of the Miocene (specifically the formations of the Agate Fossil Beds) , narrated by the wonderful Nigel Marven. The stars of the film are Daeodon and Moropus. Over the course of the story, we see them grow and struggle over multiple years in a changing environment, in a time when the forests of the Oligocene are shifting to extensive prairies in North America in the early Miocene. The film is roughly 40 minutes long and will be animated almost entirely in Blender, with some real footage used throughout to enhance the realism. There are many more animals included, which I will post about in the future. The film is set for a 2022 release.
