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

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

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.

Reimagining Pop-Up Books Through Mixed Reality: A Collaborative Preservation Initiative

Pop-up and movable books captivate with their interactive artistry, yet their fragility limits access—especially in archival collections like the KB. Through an innovative collaboration between KB and TU Delft’s XR Zone, researcher Willemijn Elkhuizen explores how mixed reality (XR) can preserve and transform these delicate treasures. By translating the sensory and emotional qualities of pop-up books into digital and hybrid experiences, the project opens new avenues for engaging and safeguarding cultural heritage.
