Centenary is a transmedia project set around WWI that focuses on the human stories of that era rather than the political or military. Told in a graphic-novel-inspired style of animation, Centenary will appeal to a young adult audience and engage them with narrative scripted content and interactive social media extensions.
A student team at the Centre for Digital Media is taking the lead on developing a social media experience that brings history to life by connecting users to past events in a direct a meaningful way. A beta version of this application will launch in April 2013.
