The project
cineVenus predates the iPhone: a comedy video site I launched at 16, with a forum I ran myself. The concept and the videos were mine; my father helped me build the site in HTML and taught me the basics of code.
The app came later, designed for iPad too: it gave access to the news, videos, photos and forum, let you comment, post straight to Facebook or Twitter, and even included a shop for ordering the site's merchandise. It was the first time I connected video creation, a community and a mobile product.
What the app did
- The site's news, videos and photos, readable from the app
- The forum and comments, without leaving the app
- Direct posting to Facebook and Twitter, compatible with the clients of the day
- A built-in shop for ordering cineVenus merchandise
- A version designed for iPad
"cineVenus is a comedy-focused audiovisual production company, run by an imaginative young filmmaker." The app gave access to news, videos, photos, the forum and the site's social channels, with direct posting to Facebook and Twitter.
