Overhaulin'

OVERHAULIN'S premise is that an unknowing "victim" (the mark, in the show's language) is nominated to be "overhauled" by their family or friends (the Insiders). Their car, usually an old and tired antique car, is obtained through some ruse. While the two co-hosts play games with the unsuspecting mark (sometimes acting in roles of insurance adjusters or law enforcement agents, other times helping the Insider), automotive expert Chip Foose and a team of top mechanics (dubbed "The A-Team") have a week to remake the car into a custom masterpiece.

OVERHAULIN' ran for five seasons (2004–2008) on TLC. The show remains available via re-runs and syndication.

On The Set: Finding Nemo

ON THE SET: FINDING NEMO was a behind the scenes look at the making of the blockbuster film, "Finding Nemo." A major focus of the documentary was the technology behind the production of the film. To create the look and feel of a real underwater environment, the "Finding Nemo" development team recreated several components found in the ocean: particulate matter (particles); surge and swell (the constant movement); caustic lighting (patterns of light on the ocean floor and shafts of light); murk (how light filters out over distance); and reflection and refraction (the look of water from above and below the surface).

FINDING NEMO was honored with an Oscar for Best Animated film and received Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Editing.
