ABOUT THIS PROJECT

For THE MARCH we brought history to life by producing the center piece of the exhibit, a 6dof VR experience. In which visitors could take a step back into 1963 to join marchers on Constitution Ave. and witness Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his iconic I Have a Dream speech.

 

For this project historical accuracy was critical. Great effort was made to ensure that every detail, from the chants of the crowds to the subtle gestures of MLK, where as true as possible.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

To promote THE MARCH I worked closely with the teams at TIME and Digital Domain to craft a variety of content. This included behind-the-scenes documentaries, content for TIME's website and EPKs. This not only included making use of 30+ hours of bts footage, but also shooting interviews with the director, and additional b-roll.
