We collaborated with Ford's Theatre, the place of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, to produce this engaging, inspiring, and sensitive series on an event that changed the course of U.S. history.
Targeting each film to a different grade level, we developed three scripts on the story of the assassination, and created three distinct but related animation styles.
Through gripping storytelling, striking illustration, and use of primary sources, the resulting videos explore the historical context of the assassination, and the legacy of President Lincoln.
These films are the first in a series that will feature on a specially designed website, created by Ford's Theatre.
