PORTRET: Voorridder van Bomenridders Pim Janse

De Bomenridders zijn al ruim 20 jaar actief in de omgeving Rotterdam. Zij komen niet alleen op voor de rechten van de bomen maar beschermen ze ook tegen bedreigingen. De afgelopen jaren zijn ze heel betrokken rondom de veranderingen in Park De Twee Heuvels. Park De Twee Heuvels ondergaat veranderingen als gevolg van het Stadionpark.

I enrolled in the TV & AV minor as part of my bachelor's degree. As part of this minor we worked on several audiovisual projects for the city of Rotterdam. One of them is a portrait of the Bomenridders. The Bomenridders is a dutch organisation that are involved with nature. They mainly fight for the preservation of the trees and other greenery. 

I found the organisation while doing research into the issues with a park in Rotterdam south. They were closely involved but not that well known as organisation in the city of Rotterdam. I felt passionate about this subject and wanted to give them a platform to talk about the issues. 

In this video Pim, the chairman of the Bomenridders, explains how they were involved with the preservation of a park in Rotterdam south. 

Both the city of Rotterdam as the Bomenridders were very pleased with the work I did.

This video is published by the city of Rotterdam. 

Tasks: coming up with the concept, getting in touch with the organisation, research, interviewing, filming & editing.
