What we do

Storyrunner was founded in 2012 as production agency with a strong focus on documentary filmmaking. We have made over 10 documentaries for the Belgian national tv (Canvas), all different topics from "Biodiversity in Belgium", clean technologies, the power of micro-organisms and animal testing. Our latest work "Made in Europe" (2023) won 2 international awards and is distributed worldwide by Journeyman Pictures. Today we also make much shorter videos and reportages for social media, websites, conferences and exhibitions.  

Storyrunner is partner of many European research projects. Together with the researchers we make the premium video of the research project. Our speciality: making complex information accessible to the general public. Storyrunner uses different styles. The "presentation style" and the "reportage style". Sometimes we combine both styles. 

Storyrunner uses two different approaches for your video. There is the "presentation style". These videos are 100% scripted, so background, animations and text blend perfectly. And then there is the "reportage style". Here we only give an outline and we use less animations. But these videos are sometimes more spontaneous and authentic. 

We have developed Dox Vox, a budget friendly format for research videos.The researchers will write their own script, with some help of our trainer, and they will provide us with their own visual material: pictures, icons and 2D-animations. Storyrunner will do the rest. This format is possible in combination with the workshop “how to pitch your research”.

Video can make your conference or exhibition more attractive and dynamic. Storyrunner has lots of experience in this field. We made the videos for 50 years Leuven Research and Development, for 20 years Opening the Future, 50 years LIBIS, for IABR Rotterdam and Brussels and for the Zwin Nature Park exhibition in Knokke (Belgium).

Storyrunner has a good reputation and has worked with many well-known experts or famous presenters. Such a celebrity can lift up your video and bring your message to a much lager public.  

Storyrunner has a framework agreement with KU Leuven. This makes it for researchers, faculties, institutions and organisations linked to the university of Leuven much easier to work with us. (This our reference TD/90302/PES).
