We couldn't be prouder of picking up the win for Best Innovation in Digital Storytelling at the Voyager Internet Ltd Media Awards last night for FAULTLINES. The judges comments sums up the sort of work we strive to do:

"North & South’s Faultlines was an immense, comprehensive undertaking that brought Kiwis exciting innovations that are usually only achievable by big international outlets with deeper pockets. Faultlines told a complex narrative in an accessible way, interwoven across platforms, and did an exceptional job of grabbing your attention — and then keeping it. The thoughtful use of graphics, video, animation, and still images was world-class and helped readers immersively explore a lesser-known but hugely important story. A masterclass in newsroom innovation."

Fault Lines tells the story of how we know a huge earthquake is imminent along New Zealand's Alpine Fault and how communities affected are preparing for it. It was a huge collaboration with North & South Magazine along with almost a dozen news outlets across the South Island. Thanks to NZ On Air
for funding it and the wonderful support from the AF8 agency in helping us craft the science.

Great to have these recent digital projects out in the wild - ones that totally align with the VP values. The Edgar's Mission website was a collaboration with Common Vision, while closer to home we designed and developed Hunter's Wines new digital presence showcasing the winery's rich history and online cellar door. 🥂 🐶

One of the challenges in communicating the threat of an Alpine Fault earthquake was visualising something that was geological in scale and timespan. It was visualising something that had not happened ... yet. We worked with AF8 to create interactive graphics that gave a scope of the threat. Full project can be found at https://faultlines.nz/

Faultlines is an immersive multiplatform documentary funded by NZ On Air in association with North & South Magazine
