Weekly Update 340: Panda, rainbow and behind the scenes Jul 9, 2020

Crystal Z. , Jul 9, 2020 :

Hey friends,

When we say OnePlus is a family, it's because we mean it. From the very beginning, we've been incredibly proud and humbled by our Community's unmatched passion and limitless creativity. Your contributions to OnePlus are what set us apart. It's what makes OnePlus such a great place to work.

If you're looking for an example of what we mean when we say OnePlus is a family, look no further than our friend, @jlasensiofi. Just this week, he posted a beautiful time-lapse video on Twitter, featuring 6 seconds of pure visual poetry. We were all blown away and eager to discover the story behind the clip, so @diegohnz reached out to José for the full story.

José showed us that, with a OnePlus 8 Pro in your pocket, a lot of passion, and 8 hours of footage, you can achieve something truly special. To really help José bring his vision to life, the Community was quick to help out. José was happy to give a shout-out to the forum friends who pitched in: @Shivang Joshi, @otto2, @D1G1T, and @Bouncer71. Their editing hints and programs helped José shorten the video to its final format. Check out the final result here:

Speaking co-creation, we had a little impromptu photography contest in the office this week. After a few days of rain In Shenzhen, after a typhoon arrived last Sunday, a surprise rainbow, wait... rainbows, showed up when the awful weather cleared.



This was the photo that won the competition, by @Jimmy Z. with his OnePlus 8 Pro.

Rainbows are pretty common, but have you ever seen a rainbow burst out of the ground like it does in the photo below? This was shot by a user at a different angle with his OnePlus 7T.



Rainbows are often seen as a symbol of luck and good things to come. What good things are you wishing for? We have a few guesses, but we want to hear from you! Share your wishes in the comments.

The co-creation train kept chugging along this week, and we're excited to share news regarding the Stay Strong MV that OnePlus is making with Reggie. Here's a little sneak-peek behind the scenes of our recording session:

When our creative wallpaper contest and jacket design campaign ended, we organized an internal selection. All of us were impressed by the beautiful and creative designs you guys shared. Dozens of wallpaper and jacket designs moved onto the second selection round. Now, a bunch of professional designers from product and ID team are going through them. The third selection round will take place shortly after, and involve the whole company. We have already received messages from different teams, asking for a few jacket samples, lol

Let's move on to our favorite topic of just about any week: the weekend. Last week, @Trista W. had a wonderful time in Chengdu (the home of the panda), while enjoying delicious food, gorgeous scenery and most importantly, she got the chance to get close to these lovely creatures:
