UNESCO
Internet for Trust 

Internet for Trust is a VFX holographic interactive film I worked with  Studio Giggle in Feb 2023 for UNESCO Global Conference. 

For the conference, UNESCO commissioned a film that would set the narrative to connect emotionally with the participants and create an atmosphere to mobilise participants to co-create the model regulatory framework.

A full in-camera visual poem written and performed by @sugaripoet, created by the incredible minds at @studio_giggle, for the @unesco IFT global conference last month, talking about the relationship between the internet, democracy, and freedom of speech.

 

Once the animations had been created, we headed into our Studio, where we rigger a rear projection screen, raised stage and 4.7mx3.8m Hologauze. Hologauze is an ultra-thin mesh that can be projected onto but also allows back plate projection simultaneously. This, therefore, creates a sense of depth in the visual output. This level of detail and depth would not have been attainable through post-production alone. We also used two different camera angles, which allowed us to create moments of impact when Jeremiah looked directly down the lens of the second camera.

​

UNESCO was thrilled with how the film turned out. The reception in the room and online was very positive too. One of the speakers on a panel later on in the conference even commented on how good the video was as part of their presentation. Following the conference, it was released online to a much wider audience and helped to spark a debate around the global issue. Oscar Castellanos, Associate Communications Officer at UNESCO, said:

 

We are very happy with how it all came together from concept proposal to seeing the video in the room. Many thanks for your incredible work.
