 Capturing content of high quality

We started by reaching out to people in our global community of talents such as artistic directors and creatives from the Netherlands and filmmakers from the UK and animators in Australia in addition to activists of NGO organisations in Nigeria in search of some.

After that, we asked them to use their cameras, phones and computers to address three queries regarding the upcoming year:

  •     What's the goal for this year?
  •     What is inspiring you this New Year?
  •     What are the major issues you expect to face in 2023?

The answers they received reflected the power of community like this one by the director who was the creator of the film, and Soursop Co-founder Ravi Amartunga Hitchcock...

"In individual streams we can only do so much but, when we work together we are able to do huge, enormous tasks."

...and the many possibilities in storytelling. I love this line from Staff Pick filmmaker Faith Briggs.

"I am not looking to make up intriguing stories. I want to tell the stories that have meaning."

The post process is streamlined

After re-editing all the video submissions and deciding on the best approach to editing them We decided that each section of the film should be each one stand in its own. We came up with an assortment of supercuts featuring our favorite answers to the questions listed in the previous paragraph.

To prepare for interactivity, the's team developed a list of principles for changing the video from sizzles and raw footage into the experience of a full-on experience.

  •  Create an interactive element within the first ten second
  • Allow for :15 to :20 in between hotspots
