The Campaign

The campaign site takes the user on an exciting and educating trip to the tragic whale strandings on the North Sea shore. The trip shall feel real and explorative, with an intuitive navigation. With big moving images for an immersive experience. While scrolling (or swiping) through the scenery, the user parenthetically collects information about the strandings, possible causes, the whales and Greenpeace's work. With the goal to arouse interest in Greenpeace activities or even donating directly.

Creative Execution

The campaign site is build for desktop, mobile and tablet devices, using a video scroll (or swipe) navigation. The lean design does not interfere with the big background images, which are a mixture of moving images and WebGL animations, which react to mouse movements and the gyroscope sensors of the device. A changing and interactive soundscape, programmend with WebAudio, intensifies the experience. A 360° video scenes is extended with interactive elements and an interactive map. We implemented movable anchor-hotspots via motion tracking and keyframes in Javascript. During several production days we shot over 230 gigabyte of data and had 9.935 photo and video files on our raw-server. At the end the final site was cut down to <80 megabyte.
