The empathy machine

Storytelling in VR is a powerful tool to create social change. VR video can evoke empathy like no other medium, as it allows viewers to experience reality through someone else’s eyes. This creates a deeper connection between viewers and the people in the stories and the missions of the organizations.

Over the years, we have worked on many projects for NGOs, where our VR films have been successfully used for fundraising, raising awareness, social change, and presenting projects.

For Stichting Vluchteling, we depicted the living conditions in refugee camps in Iraq and Congo through personal stories of their residents. We traveled for the Swiss NGO Witch/Eper to Lebanon to make a film about the daily life of Fadia, a 14-year-old Palestinian-Syrian refugee, in the Shatila refugee camp. In Kenya, we followed the Maasai girl Sereya for Amref Flying Doctors during her Alternative Rite of Passage.

Closer to home, we collaborated with Fabrique and the municipality of Eindhoven within the Bubble Games consortium on a case study titled “As if I already know you.” This project aims to counteract hardening attitudes and prevent polarization in society.

Recently, we produced a documentary in Sumatra for IDH, highlighting the success of the ‘landscape approach.’ This is a collaborative project between farmers, rangers, NGOs, and the government, focused on sustainable palm oil cultivation and reforestation.

In short, we have we have extensive experience in tackling complex subjects and telling human stories. Additionally, we are experienced in productions in distant countries, sometimes under difficult or vulnerable conditions. We tell your story as well as possible, with attention and respect for the people we collaborate with.

Our Approach

Concept and strategy
Each project starts with an in-depth conversation in which we discuss your vision, goals and the specific needs of your target audience. Together, we identify the key elements we want to highlight to create a VR experience that truly resonates with your audience and tells your story in the most impactful way.

Planning and preparation
We develop a custom script and a detailed production plan. This includes everything from location selection to the specific scenarios we want to capture. Additionally, we arrange permits and prepare for any necessary travel, in collaboration with you.

Production
Using the latest VR technologies and an eye for detail, we bring the story you want to tell to life. We work closely with your team to ensure that each scene has the right content quality and contributes to the goal of the VR experience. Our team is experienced in working under challenging conditions and always works with respect and integrity for people and nature.

Post-production
After filming, we ensure a powerful montage that tells your message as well as possible. Together, we perfect the VR video with additions such as music, titles, sound design, and possibly a voice-over. We continue until you are completely satisfied with the final product.

Distribution
We provide seamless integration and user-friendly access, including a custom app and plug-and-play solutions for Meta and Pico VR headsets. This way, you can easily use your VR film for fundraising, education, or presentations.

Cardboard VR
For broad accessibility, we also offer the option to send VR cardboards, allowing your audience to experience the VR content at home, directly from their smartphone.
