ibsen digitalized

ibsen_collage.jpg

"Explore Ibsen" brings the Norweigan playwright's work to life, allowing the user to navigate through a beautiful cityscape (collaged together from photos of Oslo). Each city scene reveals a video of an actor delivering a monologue from one of Ibsen's most famous plays, including Peer Gynt and The Lady from the Sea.  The actors are crap, but the lush, dark visuals are the perfect backdrop for Ibsen's grim portraits of the human condition.  From a production standpoint, the site is extremely well-made: the use of layered photos (panning at varying speeds in order to simulate depth), with the overlay of greenscreen-shot video, cuts down on K size while maintaining a very rich experience.
