I thought they would be talking about the making of it but it doesn't say. Is it mostly still images in 3D space in After Effects or similar program?

I still think the BBC is whitewashing a bit of DW past, and also could have made a bit more of an effort with some programmes, but I shall give fuller judgement if further press releases.
I wonder how the logistics of the 50th show are going to work? Hundreds of cinemas will get hold of a copy days in advance, and I presume most of the 75 countries will get a tape sent over. It massively increases the likelihood of a copy slipping onto the net before the official broadcast, which would be the last thing to team would want.

The cinema showings could be done in the same way as the Met Opera and the National Theatre stuff - broadcast live to cinemas over satellite. 3D might complicate things a bit - but it is an approach. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did that if they can do 3D properly (side-by-side might look a bit pants...).
These days lots of cinemas are geared up for live broadcasts of major cultural and sporting events.
I wouldn't be surprised if some countries were asked to turn around a satellite-fed version for their transmission (though BBC America might be a different matter)
