Showreel – Opening Academic Year 2025

The brief
Together with NMC Live, we developed the opening sequence for the Opening Academic Year 2025. What started as an energetic opener to pull the audience in quickly grew into something broader: a showcase of what TU Delft has achieved in recent years.

Behind the scenes
This project sat right on the edge of live and video production. The challenge was to make something that could work as a strong opening moment in the room, while also carrying a bigger story. It had to set the tone, build momentum, and feel visually sharp from the first seconds.

Why this one stood out
What made this project interesting was that it had to do two jobs at once. It needed the energy of an event opener, but also the substance of a short showcase film. That mix made it a strong way to kick off the event.

AI in Hiring – Can a Machine Pick the Right Candidate?

June 10, 2025

What if an algorithm decided whether you got the job—even before a human saw your name? AI-driven hiring assessments, now widespread, make implicit assumptions about skills, behavior, and communication that may not match individual realities. By reducing complex narratives to data points, these systems strip applicants of autonomy over their identity and undermine dignity. An interdisciplinary study from TU Delft, University of Twente, and TU Eindhoven inspired a four-minute animated video, making these findings accessible and prompting reflection on AI’s impact in recruitment.
