killing kennedy | national geographic channel
Featuring hundreds of photos, videos, graphics and statistics,
KennedyandOswald.com tells the life stories of two men whose lives are forever connected by one terrible moment in American history.
Ambition. Failure. Adversity. Love. Loss. Conviction. What forces drive one man to be president and another to become his assassin? That’s the question we sought to answer when the National Geographic Channel tasked us with creating an online companion site for their new movie, Killing Kennedy. We created a cross-platform, multi-device, scroll-based parallax site that pushed HTML5 to its limits while exploring the two lives at the center of one of America’s most shocking events—the assassination of John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald.
