MOZILLA:
MIECO

What do you get when you throw expert coders from all walks of life into a nonprofit aimed at creating collaborative, open-source initiatives that inspire discovery? Mieco, that’s what!

And our part in the equation? Chronicling their complex story in beautiful, simple chapters.

The Challenge

Distilling dense, complex topics into a readily digestible format for broad distribution is no easy feat. And when participants’ webcam recordings failed to meet quality standards, we stepped in to build a remote camera system for conducting interviews using Riverside.fm.

This approach, coupled with pre-screening questions, allowed the team to capture authentic and compelling content in a conversational way. The best part: this project offered a blank canvas for animation, a challenge the team embraced enthusiastically to push ourselves and the bounds of our own imaginations.
