Storm Surfers is a documentary movie project that tracks the exploits of big wave legends Tom Carrol & Ross Clark Jones as they search the southern oceans for the world’s biggest wave.
The website promotes the movie by displaying the trailer and enables the surfers to document their adventures as they happen. The blog-style interface also allows the public to comment on the events and interact directly with the film-makers.
To build the site, I developed a comprehensive set of XHTML templates and then integrated them into a heavily customised implementation of the WordPress CMS. The website also makes use of the NextGen Gallery module that enables the creators to easily upload batches of stills from the movie to the website
