Upcoming is a community for discovering and sharing events. It can help you find stuff to do, discover what your friends are doing, or let you keep private events online for your own reference.

We were commissioned to design a concept for a new Upcoming. The brief required us to use the current content and functionality and deliver a total redesign. We delivered a clear and optimized user interface along with a new look and feel cohesive to an enthusiastic web based community looking to appeal to a wider audience.

Unfortunately in late 2007 Yahoo! underwent a major restructure which left our contract no longer a requirement going forward. Which means the delivered design may never see the light of day.

Behind the Scenes

The equipment: A mini-dv camera, a tripod and available light.
Hardware/ Software: A Mac, Final Cut Pro and After Effects

There were many challenges in making this very low budget 7 minute film. One challenge was to take footage shot on a mini-dv camera and make it look more ‘film like’. Another, was only having one day to shoot the whole film. There was also very little budget, so no chance of elaborate outdoor light setups, and of course, most of the film is meant to be set during the evening. This meant that we had to shoot day-for-night. Which in reality for me translated to a 5 minute on location setup using only available light, a couple of takes, and the rest of the time in post production trying to work some magic.

Below are some comparison shots of original footage (on the left) and final results (on the right).
