    CVO Lethas

    The latest production in the non-cultural field: an online video campaign for CVO Lethas. CVO stands for ‘centre for adult education’. It’s a school that provides and specializes in education for non-native speakers from all backgrounds (i.e. ‘newcomers’ as well as ‘expats’, what makes it an intriguing mix) to learn dutch, french and english as well as providing a secundary education for those who couldn’t finish it within the classical school system.

    I was asked to write and create a campaign video for the school’s activities to be presented at the inaugural event of the new campus and mainwhile create a social media campaign. After a first contact we swiftly decided on the scenario, look and feel and created these little films made interely with actual students and teachers. No acting involved, unless the voluntary cooperation of students who took it up as the engagement they felt due for the education and environment provided.

    Always a pleasure to create something real…

  • Woordfront

    Woordfront

    In 2015 GoneWest engaged us as directors for the event ‘Woordfront’ commemorating the first gas-attacks of WW1. In Tielt, the military headquarter-city of the German army from where the attacks were ordered, we setup four groups of volunteers that marched towards the central square. During the procession each group declamated a poem, one for each emotion: Fear, Grief, Anger and Hope. The groups were led by marching bands, mostly brass, playing compositions by Inne Eysermans (Amatorski). At the central square, they were met by three ladies, amongst them the writer of the poems, Saskia De Coster. From the belfry, they started a dialogue with the 1500 volunteers that gathered around in a grand finale.

    The event was broadcasted live on local tv-station Focus-WTV, mixed by Erik Hauters.

    Unfortunately there’s no full video online anymore, but here’s some things that are still online:
