Creating Fictional Websites

Now time for something really different!  Throughout the course of the film, my main character is constantly trying to solve a mystery.  Much of this involves physical searches, but some of this requires diving into the digital world… searching for clues online.  And for that, I had to create a series of websites!  (As always, click each image for higher resolution.)

First up, a search engine.


Next, a news article.


Then, a defunct company website.


And finally, a site called "Urban Myths and Legends".


I had a lot of fun creating these.  When I first started this film years ago, I actually wanted these to be fully functioning websites that people could really explore.  I actually did that to some degree with the "Urban Myths and Legends" one (though it's not online).  But creating the rest proved to be way more work than was worth my time.  So for now they're just images.

Anyway, enjoy!
