Techleap: Conference Videos
Two years in a row, Techleap, an organisation dedicated to empower tech founders in the Netherlands, asked Monks to produce the videos for their annual conference.
Designed to inspire politicians, policy makers, and tech ventures to collaborate and build a stronger Dutch tech ecosystem, we supercharged our creative with the power of generative AI.
Featuring AI-generated art, interviews with Deeptech CEOs, on-site filmed footage of ground-breaking innovations, dynamic animation frameworks and AI voiceovers, we created the videos within a tight two-week timeframe.
As the co-creative on the ‘24 project and lead creative on the ‘25 project, I worked closely together with the Monks animators, designers, AI artists and sound team to elevate traditional talking-head conference videos to crafted content that keeps a live audience engaged throughout. Directing the interviews, it was important to me that the participants felt greatly at ease so they could get their story across even when being in front of the camera was complete new to them.
These two projects exemplify how blending traditional and cutting-edge filmmaking techniques allows us to unleash limitless creativity. Moreover, to me as a maker this project shows that when embracing innovation and keeping the focus on telling authentic stories we can craft impactful content even under time and resource constraints.
