An interactive web project that retells the story of The Distance to the Moon.
Visit q-archive.com to view the project.
Using 2D animation and 3D modeling, Q’s Archive presents artifacts preserved by Q, the protagonist of The Distance to the Moon, as well as fragments of Q’s memory.
The website is structured as a museum archive, curated by a team of archaeologists Franchan, about the event documented in The Distance to the Moon, estimated to have happened in twenty five hundred seventy nine (2579) AD. Six artifacts are showcased chronologically on the website, serving as entry points to the story. Interacting with these objects on the website, the visitor will trigger animations that are snippets of Q’s memory. Voiceovers that narrate passages from the story are interwoven into the navigation of the website.
