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

Supermarket Robot: Designing Socially Embedded Service Robots in Virtual Reality

What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.
