Solution
Interact with History
Cyberwoven worked closely with renowned photographic colorist Marina Amaral to meticulously restore color to century-old archival stills, and video enhancement experts neural.love to upscale and colorize archival footage. Cyberwoven created an interactive experience for American Experience that takes an intimate look at the women who forever transformed the politics of social and political change in America.
Creating an Engaging Experience
The interactive site created an engaging experience for viewers, and a powerful, custom content management system was created in-house based on GBH's specifications. This digital storytelling platform allowed producers at American Experience to more nimbly produce interactive stories and narratives in the future. In turn, this allowed GBH to expand upon the stories their films introduced.
