We have just completed a Facebook video competition for our friends at Zenith Optimedia, related to Droga 5’s ‘Puma Social’ campaign.

The competition has launched in 30 countries around the world and is available in 20 languages.

Less Rain has been responsible for adapting the design from the original campaign and developing this Facebook content in Ruby on Rails using Heroku, a cloud ruby platform. We delivered to Zenith a full moderation system for video uploads and a customised analytics system that tracks pretty much everything!

A collaboration between The Brooklyn Brothers, Somesuch & Co and Less Rain, ‘Being Henry’ is an interactive film about choices. Planned from the ground up as an interactive experience, it merges storytelling and interactivity in a seamless and intuitive way.

Less Rain has worked together with director Nick Gordon and Somesuch & Co to prototype all interactivity and have proof of concept before the shoot started. Since then we have been putting ‘Being Henry’ together shot by shot, making sure pre-loading is seamless, fine-tuning all decision points and doing quality control in all deliverables to make sure everyone’s work clicks into place. Watch this space for behind the scenes and more details on interaction design and software development.
