Behavior Design, in collaboration with HBO, launched the John Adams website, the online component to HBO's epic 7-part miniseries event.
Based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of the same name, John Adams explores American history through one of its greatest founding fathers.
Behavior created an immersive interactive experience layered with rich content, including behind-the-scenes features with the film's creators, exclusive interviews with Paul Giamatti (John Adams), David McCullough (author), and Tom Hooper (the film's director).
The site is organized into seven areas that map to the seven parts of the miniseries.
Visitors can explore related content within each section of the site, including recap videos, special interactive behind-the-scenes features, a timeline of key events related to that period and episode synopsis.
The timeline itself contains a discoverable wealth of content that reflects upon the historical period and its events through slide shows and audio commentary from the film's cast and crew.
"As the 2008 presidential election nears, the timeliness of John Adams presented us with both a challenge and an opportunity within the website, to present the film's historical and contemporary significance in a compelling way," says Jeff Piazza, a Principal at Behavior Design.
"Our goal was to encourage site visitors to delve into a multi-faceted investigation of the roots of the American political system and its founding principles as presented in the film."

Laurent Chanez of Identity directs this inspirational Nike project for TV and web out of Wieden + Kennedy, Tokyo.
Shot in three countries, the premise is simple... everyone is on equal ground no matter the level of expertise.
The days of running in solitude are obsolete with the newest product to hit the market Nike+.
A device that tracks your runs through distance, time and calories burned, Nike+ is made to fit into the sole of Nike shoes and transmit information to an iPod Nano, the runners of the world can unite.
Owner/EP Joe Masi comments on the production, "This was an extremely challenging project in that we had very little time to shoot all the celebrity athletes.
We took a very guerrilla approach, opting to use cars and vans to shuttle the talent to various locations quickly instead of setting up a huge production hub and locking off shots.
It took an adept, spontaneous visual stylist with a keen eye for moments such as Laurent to pull this thing off - and I think the results speak for themselves."
