Our first paying client
Published on January 14, 2021 by Vaipunu Ian Tairea

Ngā mihi (thank you) Te Tihi o Ruahine Whānau Ora Alliance for being our first client!!! 🥳🥳🥳


Te Tihi contracted Tai Collective to create digital content for their currently under development Te Mauri Moemoeā app.


The scope of our brief was to:


  1. Create 6 x themed storyline narratives based around the pūrakau (legends) of Tāne (Deliverables: scripts, storyboards, video of narrated scripts over image visuals)
  2. Produce music backing tracks and audio narration for 8 x narratives
  3. Develop 5 x HTML5 mini-games


Our rangatahi (young people) had an awesome challenging experience creating all this content. Experiencing first hand how much work goes into projects like this.

For their contributions to the project, rangatahi were paid Bitcoin based on their level of engagement and input.

iLab - this is the facility/studio we work out of. It is an old building we are currently renovating to be fit for purpose. We are about half way through our renovations, currently we have a computer lab, music recording studio and green screen studio. We are actively trying to fund the completion of our iLab renovations.
