OVERVIEW

Today’s cinema is full of magic worlds and distant planets, alien creatures and mystical beasts, but the strangest and most alien realm is already right here on Earth.

Created entirely by volunteers and funded by hundreds of fans worldwide, the Underwater Realm is one of the most ambitious independent film projects ever attempted. Each short set in a different time period, we watch the five times humans have caught a glimpse of the mysterious underwater Atlanteans.

The films were entirely delivered on the Internet meaning the website needed to be at the forefront of the campaign. The solution was delivered in a matter of weeks and combined design and development to create a successful impact into the independent cinema world.

Inside the original design

What to look for

Compare the page hierarchy, the amount of content visible before scrolling and the way the navigation names each task. The screens document an earlier design; they are not evidence of how the current third-party website behaves.
