NewMedia Centre Stories

This is Krashna

The brief
For Krashna Musika, the student orchestra and choir from Delft, we produced a performance video of Sogno di Volare by Christopher Tin, filmed in the Dream Hall at TU Delft.

Behind the scenes
This project was a collaboration between Krashna and the NewMedia Centre. The production had to do justice to both the scale of the music and the atmosphere of the performance. In a project like this, camera work, sound, rhythm, and space all matter. The goal is not just to register the performance, but to translate its energy to the screen.

Why this one stood out
What makes this project memorable is the contrast at its core: a student association made up largely of technical students, brought together by classical music. That combination gave the film its own character and made it a special collaboration to capture.

Client: Delft Student Music Society Krashna Musika
Producer: Maik Helgers
Director: Stephan Voogt
Camera Operator: Boris Swaen, Geraldo Solis’s, Rob Maas, Mats Treffers, Axl Ruig

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.

Blended Learning Animations – Who Is the Engineer of the Future?

June 11, 2025

How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.
