RewindSG is a collaborative documentary website that aims to be a platform on which collective memories of Singapore’s fading trades can be built. It is a multimedia documentary that features user‐generated content and a mapping project that documents the locations and stories of the tradespeople or their customers. This report documents the team’s process in creating the interactive documenting website from the conceptualization stage to post‐production stage. This included the integral design process of the website, treatment and structure interviews that we revised as we gained a deeper understanding of the situation and sought to encourages RewindSG’s visitors to be part of an active effort the collection of the past, present and possible future of Singapore’s old and traditional trades. The report is thus written to reflect the process of creating a combination website such that the collective efforts of documenting these old trades can be translated through the audience’s experience.
