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.

Point and Click Game Online course 

To enhance medical education, Dr. Marjon Stijntjes developed a web-based simulation that teaches students to assess the revalidation needs of elderly patients after hospital discharge. Set in a virtual home environment, students gather clues by interacting with everyday objects, simulating real-life clinical judgment. The patient’s condition evolves weekly, training students to recognize change over time. Accessible via browser, the tool has been praised for its intuitive, gamified design and practical relevance — a powerful example of how serious games can transform healthcare training.
