What I worked on
I owned all website-related engineering for this project: from architecture and implementation through polish, CMS wiring, and handoff for launch.
- End-to-end web engineering for the official film site — structure, interactions, performance, and launch readiness alongside the campaign team.
- A day/night experience driven by the visitor’s local time, with motion and layout tuned for a cinematic first impression on desktop and mobile.
- Content workflow with Decap CMS so marketing could iterate copy and assets without blocking engineering for every small change.
- Shipping a fast, accessible baseline: semantic markup, careful image and animation choices, and a calm visual language that matched the film’s scale.
