# Apocalypse 10 lives
Entertainment · 2013 · UX Designer
Apocalypse is a TV documentary series from France Télévisions, the French public television broadcaster. I've teamed up with their digital team to create a transmedia experience from the TV episodes related to the First World War. Marking the centenary of this worldwide conflict, this project invited users to follow the lives of ten fictional characters during the conflict.

## Approach

Representing countries involved in World War One, each character's life looks like a short movie split into several scenes. Thanks to rich storytelling, the destinies of these characters intertwine in meaningful ways. These meeting points can be used to switch from a life to another before continuing the experience. Each destiny is also a chance to explore and discover historical video archives organized around war topics.
On this project the navigation system hold a significant role. Since the beginning, we wanted to propose two navigation modes: an automatic one, similar to a movie, and a manual one, oriented towards content exploration. The main challenge was letting users move between the two modes without breaking the flow, while making the design work for both web (desktop) and tablet (app) users.
