Case study

Schoenergie – Opening of the headquarters

Schoenergie · Opening of the headquarters · October 2023

Event coverage of the opening of Schoenergie’s new headquarters and the celebration with politicians and invited guests: a supercut and every film made for the event.

Starting point

Schoenergie opened its new headquarters with a celebration for politicians and invited guests.

Making of

Four films were made for the opening: the event film of the inauguration, the architects’ film, the background film and the film of the staff party. The supercut brings everything together in one edit.

Camera, drone, editing and post-production were done by me.
