Testimonies from Our Documentary Partners

“I am pleased to write this testimonial for Mediafreaks Pte Ltd, whom I had the opportunity to work with on a few projects over the last 2 years; and my appraisal for Mediafreaks is no less than what the team deserves – their impressive animation work. On our documentary, “Scuba Car” (on National Geography), Mediafreaks has proven to be an extremely talented and dedicated animation team. They are able to do the impressive animation works within a short span of time. Besides, their creative ideas had surpassed the satisfaction of our International broadcaster. They are definitely one of the few companies that are able to meet the delivery deadline with a creative animation work. I personally admire Aric’s and Aldric’s consistently high level of enthusiasm and how they relate so well to both our International and local creative crew. There is no doubt that Mediafreaks will definitely make Singapore proud in the animation scene. Above all, I am confident that, they will be able to contribute a lot more to our blooming creative industry.”

This is the story of the Beiyi Freeway; the road they said cannot be built. To build it they’ll have to make seven major river crossings and bore through five gigantic mountains including the biggest of them the gigantic Hsueshan mountain that rises several thousand metres into the crisp mountain air. It will mean building the longest road tunnel in Asia through some of the most challenging geology ever encountered by tunnellers and that’s where the challenge in building this highway really lies.

South Korea needed a network – to bridge these huge geographic boundaries, and physically bring the nation together. The challenge was laying 412 kilometres of railway, constructing 51 new tunnels through 190 kilometres of undulating mountainside, and raising 104 bridges over South Korea’s numerous rivers. There was only one solution – more ambitious, more demanding and more risky than any engineering project ever undertaken in Korea – the Korea Train Express (KTX).
