(Director) Polygon.com launched in November of 2011 to a very attentive audience that had been following the progress of the site over the course of four months. When news broke that Vox Media had assembled a veteran team of games journalists to launch their third vertical, Microsoft's Internet Explorer team approached Vox Media to produce an original series that documented the launch of Polygon.com in real time. Over 13 episodes the series clocks in at 1 hour and 57 minutes of in-depth behind-the-scenes material and a raw look at how modern web-native media companies build new ventures. With a social imprint of over 15 million interactions, the series was considered a huge success in quality and in reach. (13 Episodes - Canon C300/5D MarkIII)
