Studying, moving out, making new friends, and experimenting. It’s all part of being young and exploring life. But for some, this phase involves risky encounters with alcohol and drugs, sometimes with tragic outcomes. The new BNNVARA program ‘Van de Wereld’ tells the stories of young people who lost their lives in accidents where substance use played a role. Beyond the headlines that reduced them to a name and cause of death, the show gives them a voice. Family and friends share who they were, their dreams, and the lessons we can learn from their stories.
Our approach
BNN asked us to collaborate on a four-part series. While BNNVARA handled the filming using a greenscreen, our role was to transfer the characters from the footage to an imaginative world. By blending 3D and 2D animation, we created an environment where live action scenes and animation merged, bringing this world to life.
