If you saw young people in Euskirchen this morning wearing carnival accessories and carrying iPads, behaving rather strangely, you were watching our b-ceed groups. We ran our ‘Lights, Camera, Action’ event. Everyone involved was clearly having a great time! Here’s a closer look at the team-building event:
At 10.00, our two guides, Anne and Michaela, met the clients at the Ameron Hotel in Euskirchen. After introductions and a short briefing on how to use our iPads, everyone was eager to start filming and wanted to get going straight away. First, with an iPad in hand, they chose the right themes. Every trailer has a specific theme or genre that the teams must follow. No film is complete without props. So accessories and props were provided to suit the genres they had chosen. A crown, a Hawaiian grass skirt, plastic swords, wigs, masks…
And action! Let the filming begin
All 15 participants, split into two groups, were now keen to get started! Equipped with all kinds of props, an iPad and an idea in mind, the groups set off. They filmed short scenes at various locations, such as in the park, at the station, outside the hotel or simply in the middle of town, with the participants in the starring roles. The participants’ creativity never ceases to amaze us. The most outlandish and hilarious ideas take shape and are captured on film. Unfortunately, we can’t reveal any details of their private creations, but we can say this much: one of the films revolved entirely around a bottom.
Finishing touches and awards ceremony
Once all the scenes were ‘in the can’, the trailers just needed to be finished. This called for another burst of creativity. Personal touches and text were added and adjusted. The result was a truly unique and personal creation. Naturally, a little competition sprang up, and the participants wanted to know who had made the better film. Back at the hotel, Michaela and Anne immediately set about preparing the presentation. Everyone gathered to watch the finished creations on the big screen – a real cinema experience at their own film premiere. And the best film was chosen by the boss himself! After a small awards ceremony with certificates, everyone wound down and enjoyed the rest of the morning.
A team-building event like this is not just fun. It really boosts everyone’s motivation, and everyone could feel that today. We always enjoy a morning like this, too. You can find the link to our team-building event here: Lights, Camera, Action
