The Last Hunt

最后亨特

The first made-for-tablet story that challenges the conventions of the tablet reading experience

The Last Hunt features:

– Smooth, intuitive scrolling that provides a seamless storytelling experience

– A compelling narrative about family and tradition

– Beautiful images by Montreal photographer Alexi Hobbs

– Text overlaid with parallaxing interactive animation

Offering a new kind of interactive reading experience, The Last Hunt explores the strength of family bonds and the spirituality implicit in the act of hunting, delving deeply into the motivations that led Montreal photographer Alexi Hobbs to document his

grandfather’s last hunting expedition.

To follow the story, which stretches from the present moment back to the Second World War, app users scroll vertically through text overlaid with delicate, parallaxing interactive animation that challenges the conventions of the tablet reading experience.
