Ssebo - Rethinking Design for the Real World
Hello friends,
We are Emile and Merlijn, two Industrial Design Engineering students at the Technical University in Delft. We are extremely excited to share with you our documentary project: "Ssebo." Our film aims to highlight the importance of industrial design in low-resource settings.
As industrial design students, we have seen firsthand how the industry tends to focus on developing products and services for developed markets and ends up discriminating against a huge part of the world's population. With our documentary, we want to showcase the innovative solutions and impact that appropriate design can have in low-resource settings by telling the stories of local designers, craftsmen, professors, architects, and many other interesting voices from Uganda.
We have already lived in Uganda for three months last summer to research and film part of the documentary. We have already come a long way, but now we need your support to bring this project to completion. Along with a filmer, we will be returning to Uganda in April to film the end of the documentary and to organise a local pre-screening event to record people's opinions and conclusions on the film. We also need additional funds for post-production, including color correction, audio engineering, and animations. Our goal is to raise €5000, and any contribution you can make will bring us closer to being able to share this story.
The premiere of the documentary will take place in both Delft and Antwerpen on the following dates:
Delft - Wednesday 14th of June
Antwerpen - Saterday 17th of June
In the meantime, have a look at our trailer!
Thank you for considering supporting our campaign, and we look forward to sharing the documentary with you. You can follow our journey on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/ssebo/
See you at the premiere event in June!
Best regards,
Merlijn Lewerissa and Emile Waterkeyn
Delft Hyperloop Documentary
We are Delft Hyperloop: a team consisting of 40 motivated students who, during the course of a year, work on the transportation method of the future. This year, we want to make a documentary capturing our turbulent year. To make this possible, we are asking for your help!
The hyperloop is a new mode of transportation in which a pod (comparable to a train carriage) floats through a vacuum tube and is propelled by magnets. As a result, there is no rolling and air resistance making speeds up to 1,000 km/h possible. This ensures that you no longer have to choose between fast and sustainable travelling. As a TU Delft Dream team, we work on a prototype of the hyperloop every year, with which we compete against student teams from all over the world. By doing so, we introduce new technologies and useful knowledge which stimulate the development of the hyperloop network.
One of our goals this year is to bring the hyperloop concept to the attention of a wider audience. To make the hyperloop network a reality, acceptance and understanding of the concept is necessary. A documentary capturing the development of the hyperloop technology contributes to this. The documentary will show how both the pod and our team develop in a year full of highlights and setbacks. At the end, we will conclude our year with the competition in Edinburgh, where we will hopefully win the first prize!
Help us make this documentary a reality, time for acceleration!
