Bringing the world(s) of time-travel adventure PROJECT ALMANAC to life on Twitter and Facebook.

With the client on board we reached out to @edent and long-time friend-of-the-Eye @sizemore to see if they could be persuaded team up and create something that cut the temporal mustard. They could. Start your adventure here:

“Choose-Your-Own-Almanac” proved popular with fans and film-makers alike, and even received the official blessing of the platform integral to its execution:

It was great fun to make, and typifies the kind of socially-native, low-friction initiatives we’re all about. We also created a bunch of ‘social content’ – lightweight, story-driven artwork and animation conceive to stir emotions and capture imaginations – a selection of which is featured below:
