Creative Objective: We were asked to create historical journey telling the story of Hulu’s mini series Looming Tower. We took the approach to tell the 10 year story leading up to the the bombing of the WTC, and the 10 years that followed the event.
Our approach to this project was to work closely to the book, and to to research the the events that shaped the 10 years leading up to the bombing. The interactive direction was to start in the middle, the day of the event. We created a navigation that allowed the user to choose what part of the story they wanted to learn first. We mixed show footage along with found footage. We created custom illustration and animations to help tell the events that shaped 911.
Taking on a project like this that is connected to all of us and being told on CNN, involved many conversations with CNN and the client to make sure we understood how we are telling the story and how this historical information is represented.
Below you will find two videos one the case study we created for the project. The second video is a site walkthrough.
