What they needed

Starting in 1984, The Criterion Collection, has been a dedicated distributor of important classic and contemporary films. Since the beginning, The Criterion Collection has been committed to gathering the greatest films from around the world and set out to make them accessible to movie fans everywhere. What first began with just laserdiscs has since evolved to include DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and now online supplements.

What we did

For us, this project was not unlike what we did for The Auteurs. Since both sites are so closely tied together to create a seamless experience, we were able to work with the same Auteurs back-end team when we were developing the website for Criterion. Of course there were a couple of new wrinkles (when aren’t there!), like The Criterion Collection shop for example. However, our main role was to take the new full color comp designs and turn them into beautiful XHTML and CSS.

The Result

Even though the project was fast and furious, we loved every minute of it. We couldn’t be happier about our experience working on the Criterion Collection and we can’t wait to watch them grow along side The Auteurs over the coming months!
