Dec 16, 2022

Watch the video, and read on for more details on how we constructed the website.

Capturing content that is of top quality

For the first time, we reached out to individuals from our group of talents world-wide creative directors from the Netherlands and filmmakers from the UK animators from Australia, and NGO activists in Nigeria in search of some.

Then, we demanded that they use their phones, cameras, as well as laptops, to answer three issues regarding the year ahead:

  •     What's your mission for the upcoming year?
  •     What are you inspired by this new year?
  •     What are the major problems you're expecting to encounter in 2023?

Their responses spoke to the power of communities, such as this one from the creator director of the film in addition to Soursop co-founder Ravi Amaratunga Hitchcock...

"In the individual streams we can only do so much When we collaborate in concert, we can do immense, enormous incredible, massive, huge."

...and the infinite possibilities in the art of storytelling. This is the sentiment of Staff Pick filmmaker Faith Briggs.

"I do not want to just publish cool tales. I'd love to tell stories that matter."

Streamlining the post process

When we edited all of the entries into video, we knew we wanted each piece of the video to be able to stand on its own. So, we created various supercuts that showcase our top responses to the three questions above.

And, to prepare to create interactivity, the team developed a few principles to change the sizzles of footage into raw footage to create an immersive experience.

  • Incorporate an interactive element within the first ten second
  •  Set a 15 - 20 -:20 interval between each hotspot

The notion of an interactive User Experience

"Making an interactive video can be about adding value" says Jen Mendler, a Senior Designer at . "Our community did the work, providing an insightful perspective on the next year, and we followed up by creating a multimedia experience that put viewers in the driver's seat. The focus is on deciding your destiny for 2023."
