CNN Eclipse of the century

CNN ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY
CNN Eclipse Of The Century, in partnership with Volvo, was a special event coverage for the 2017 total solar eclipse, visible across the United States.

I led the designs for the identity, branding, social graphics, and web layout for CNNVR’s “Eclipse of the Century” virtual reality 4K live stream which secured an unprecedented total of 5.7 million live starts. The event was the most watched live VR experience in history at the time.

We worked closely with the weather team, as well as the VR team here at CNN, and our partner Volvo.

CNN’s live stream feeds of the solar eclipse saw a total of 8.6 million live starts, with 3.8 million coming from CNN properties and an additional 4.8 million video views through Facebook.
