The Solution

Steps Taken

We started working on the project in June 2019. The first thought was to solidify Information Architecture. So we took the following steps:

Conducted a Product Discovery workshop
Performed strategic analysis and UX Design
Handed off UI Designs to our skilled developers.

Here is the list of guidelines we wanted to implement for the project:

The application should allow the users to find friends and peers to add to your network.
Users should be able to check updates of their friend’s activity and can reach out on the app to keep in touch.
Users should be able to upload film, tv, web, commercial or print projects to find the right cast and crew for you.
There must an option to upload past projects that are listed on IMDB.

Our Blue Whale Apps team understood all the requirements of the clients carefully and came up with a sophisticated and yet simplistic UI. The application was user-friendly and facilitated easy networking among the various actors and users of the application.

Gorilla succeeded in its vision to create a unique app.
The app provides a multilingual space to help people from a variety of cultures to participate in the film industry.
Scalable and seamless app performance.
A simple mobile app was able to positively change the film industry.
The Gorilla app is an excellent example of Agile methodology used for development.
