The Sinking of The Titanic - Slow TV style

You can now watch the sinking of the Titanic Slow TV style courtesy of a computer graphic rendering over 2 hours and 40 minutes. Showing just the boat with profile shots, fly-throughs, fly-overs, the gradual process of the boat's demise can be watched in real-time. Small nuances of change become accelerated as the inevitable approaches. Thankfully the depiction of human suffering and death is absent, so it can be watched without fear of feeling depressed for days afterwards.

Related to the Titanic: Honor and Glory video game development, you can keep an eye on their YouTube channel right HERE.
