Expansion of Ecopark De Wierde
The Ecopark de Wierde near Heerenveen is being expanded, and we have been asked by Renate van Opzeeland from Omrin to visualize this. The park serves as a showcase of the circular
Every year, the project office organizes a congress where all stakeholders come together to reflect and look ahead. At the NZKG Annual Congress on November 10, 2023, the development perspective was explained to interested parties. Afterwards, the course will be further developed into an implementation agenda and a regional investment agenda by the region and the national government.
We have captured this course in an animation that serves as the kickoff for the congress and will also take a central place in the communication of the project office afterward. Using the provided script, we first created a visual scenario, after which each scene was individually built in 3D. With various partners such as the municipality of Amsterdam and Tata Steel, we received new 3D models to visualize the future situation.

The view starts from the North Sea; this best matches the perspective from which the client wants to present the area. This is followed by a fly-through of the region, where icons and overlays highlight the challenges related to a healthier living environment and a new energy infrastructure.
The result is a four-minute video that encompasses all the plans. Different components are highlighted using map layers throughout the film.
NOVEX area
The Noordzeekanaalgebied is one of the 16 designated areas under the umbrella of NOVEX (National Spatial Strategy Extra). These are areas that are being repurposed and/or undergo major restructuring due to national challenges. Examples include the Schiphol Region, the Port of Rotterdam, and also the Noordzeekanaalgebied between IJmuiden and Amsterdam.
The goal of this vision is to work together with the Mooi Nederland program to implement and, if necessary, refine the national spatial strategy.
“We are very satisfied with the collaboration and the final product from The Imagineers. One hundred pages of the Development Perspective summarized and visualized in 3D in a 4-minute video. The Imagineers met all expectations!”

Technique
We have built the visual twin world in Unreal combined with Cesium. This allows us to quickly set up a 3D world including photogrammetry, terrain, and building data. The map layers provided by various partners in Adobe Illustrator were also easily imported. Finally, some video post-production was added in Adobe After Effects.
