Snoovies are 'snack movies'. Engaging short stories that can compete with feature films. They range between 3 and 30 minutes.
The Snoovies team attends film festivals and scours the internet to find the best short films. The app is a curated collection of these films. All 'snoovies' have good storylines and strong production values. The app also features behind-the-scenes content. The idea is to help users discover up- and coming talent in the film industry.
Users browse categories to discover films of their liking. By swiping left or right they can pick films that fit their mood. Users also get to know the cast and crew of each film. All films contain interviews with the director, producer or the actors. Some even contain playable videos of the production process. There are also options for users to reach out to the cast and crew, via Twitter or other platforms. On iOS, users can download films to watch offline.
Design:
The film content inspires the user experience throughout the app. Backgrounds and buttons use film imagery and adapt to the content selected. The app uses smooth transitions with simple interactions.
The interface was designed for both tablets and phones. Both interfaces adapt their design for usage in portrait or landscape mode. The ability to use the app in landscape mode on phones sets it apart from other video apps.
