Recent projects

Here you will find an overview of the projects we are currently working on or that we recently completed. This list is not all-inclusive, but offers a good representation of our products and activities.

Lab Meat

Science Vision was asked to provide stock footage for world leading press agency’s and broadcasters (like BBC, Sky News, VRT and ZDF) to cover the breaking news on the first worldwide public presentation of the lab-grown Cultured Beef burger. We filmed over a period of more than six months the development of this Cultured Beef by Professor Mark Post of Maastricht University and his team. This first-ever public tasting highlighted the urgent need to find a sustainable solution to food production.

Human Rights Conference

On 17 April 2013, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Frans Timmermans held a lecture on human rights. Science Vision will broadcast this lecture live from the university auditorium.

Strategy Presentation

The results of the future strategy research study conducted by Service Science Factory were presented in Studio 2.  The pleasant atmosphere and the link to modern media greatly appealed to the client. The presentation, delivered in a talk show format, was also a great success. 

Circulation and Lungs Lecture

We are currently busy recording lectures from the Circulation and Lungs course for the purpose of creating a reference work for third-year medical students. To ensure optimum audio and video quality, these recordings will be made using manned cameras and wireless microphones. 

Pharmacokinetics

This English-language learning tool helps explain the basic tenets of pharmacokinetics. The video programme is intended for first-year Health Science and Medicine students at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.

A Tree of Knowledge

We recently finished a film for SHE Collaborates on their project to improve midwifery training in Ghana. Daphne Dumoulin shot a series of photographs in Ghana that formed the basis for this 4-minute film. Science Vision provided the musical score and (digital) post-editing. The English-language voiceover was provided by Clive Lawrence.  You can watch the video Tree of Knowledge here.

Partner in Balance

We are currently working on a project for the Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology that interviews eight caregivers with (young) partners who suffer from dementia. Together, these eight short films will be used to develop a course on how to deal with this distressing illness and the impact it can have on the patients’ partners.  

Upgrade Mobile Production Set

The mobile production set was given a major overhaul and now includes the following upgrades:

  • Integrated fourth camera control unit (CCU)
  • Enhanced shading unit that includes two vector scopes and two Smartview monitors
  • Larger 8” models to replace the camera preview monitors
  • Newly integrated digital audio mixer that brings the number of channels to 16, each with their own compressors, gates and effects
