OVERVIEW
D-Day to Victory Interactive is an online documentary experience recreating the WWII final assault on Nazi-occupied Europe. A transmedia extension to the History Television and Channel4 documentary series, the site features many additional and poignant veteran interviews, and traces the Allied journey from the D-Day invasion of Normandy to the siege of Berlin. The site also allows users to engage in virtual commemoration and online sharing of several veterans’ stories who may be telling them for the last time.
PROJECT BRIEF
The producers of D-Day to Victory wanted their audience to learn more about the WWII Allied invasion’s key battles and commemorate and share stories of heroes from different countries, including Canada, the United States, Britain and Russia.
The main technical objectives were to transform the show’s groundbreaking real weaponry and explosives demos into 3D animation and create an innovative graphical map interface that includes a narrative walkthrough.
