    Wij zijn Studio vibe. The new breed of creatives. Wij zijn verliefd op het creëren van vernieuwende merken. Dit doen we met passie, talent en ambitie. Positiviteit , vriendschap en vrijheid. Noem hoe je het wilt, wij noemen het onze ‘ vibe ’. Bij vibe doen we meer dan verwacht.

We zouden er niet zijn zonder hen. Vertrouwen is voor ons daarom erg belangrijk. Een jonge groep digitale genieën geeft om uw project. We hebben geen sales team. We doen gewoon geweldig werk. Onze blik is fris en nuchter . No-nonsense, gewoon vette designs, branding, video & animatie. Het woord ‘vibe’ komt oorspronkelijk voort uit het engelse woord ‘vibration’ wat staat voor 'trilling'. Wat voor soort trillingen? Alles en iedereen trilt. Miljarden trillingen zijn verspreid over het hele universum. Deze trillingen zijn te verstaan, te voelen en over te brengen, maar ze zijn niet direct zichtbaar voor het menselijke oog. Het is bij ons van belang om onze ‘vibe’ aan iedereen door te geven en deze ook zo goed mogelijk uit te dragen. Daarom hebben we een aantal specifieke trillingen visueel zichtbaar gemaakt om te gebruiken als huisstijl-elementen. We hebben onder andere gewerkt voor: JBL, Univé, DJI, Insta 360, Harman/Kardon, Snelle, Grohe, Legamaster, Saxion Hogescholen, AT bookings, Don’t waste culture, Topicus, Traffic Today, Anne-Marie Wonen Holten, RIHO, By Sidde, Gemeente Rijssen-Holten. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English below We are Studio vibe.

Billions of vibrations are spread throughout the universe. These vibrations can be understood, felt and transmitted, but they are not immediately visible to the human eye. It is important for us to pass on our 'vibe' to everyone and to transmit it in the best possible way. Therefore, we have made a number of specific vibrations visually to use as corporate identity elements.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Balancing creative vision with practical constraints is a core skill for pre-production experts in Amsterdam, a city known for its innovative approach to creative industries. This balance is crucial for delivering successful projects that are both imaginative and feasible. Here's how Amsterdam's pre-production experts typically approach this challenge:

1. Thorough Planning and Research
  • Conduct extensive market research to understand client needs and audience preferences
  • Analyze successful campaigns in the Dutch and international markets for inspiration
  • Stay updated on local regulations and cultural sensitivities specific to Amsterdam and the Netherlands
2. Clear Communication and Collaboration
  • Foster open dialogue between creative teams, clients, and production teams
  • Utilize Amsterdam's collaborative work culture to encourage idea-sharing and problem-solving
  • Clearly define project goals, budget, and timeline from the outset
3. Leveraging Technology and Innovation
  • Use advanced pre-visualization tools to showcase concepts before committing resources
  • Employ project management software to track progress and manage resources efficiently
  • Leverage Amsterdam's strong tech scene to find innovative solutions to production challenges
4. Flexible Approach to Problem-Solving
  • Develop multiple creative concepts that can be adapted to different budget levels
  • Be prepared to pivot and find creative alternatives when faced with unexpected constraints
  • Utilize Amsterdam's diverse locations and talent pool to find cost-effective production solutions
5. Budget Optimization
  • Prioritize elements that have the most impact on the final product
  • Explore co-production opportunities with other European countries to maximize budgets
  • Take advantage of Dutch film incentives and funding opportunities when applicable

According to a 2023 survey by the Netherlands Film Commission, 78% of pre-production experts in Amsterdam reported that balancing creativity with practicality was their top challenge. However, 92% also stated that this balance led to more innovative and successful outcomes.

By employing these strategies, pre-production experts in Amsterdam are able to navigate the delicate balance between unleashing creativity and adhering to practical limitations. This approach not only ensures the delivery of high-quality projects but also contributes to Amsterdam's reputation as a hub for creative excellence in pre-production services.



Amsterdam's pre-production industry is known for its cutting-edge approaches to storyboarding and visualization. As we look towards 2024 and beyond, several innovative techniques are gaining traction among Pre Production Experts in the Dutch capital:

  1. Virtual Reality (VR) Storyboarding: Amsterdam's tech-savvy pre-production companies are increasingly using VR to create immersive storyboards. This allows directors and clients to 'walk through' scenes before shooting, providing a more comprehensive understanding of spatial relationships and camera movements.
  2. AI-Assisted Concept Art: Leveraging artificial intelligence tools, pre-production experts in Amsterdam are generating quick concept art iterations. This speeds up the visualization process and allows for more creative exploration in less time.
  3. Real-Time 3D Previsualization: Utilizing game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, Amsterdam's pre-production teams are creating real-time 3D previs that can be adjusted on the fly during client meetings or director's sessions.
  4. Collaborative Cloud-Based Storyboarding: With the rise of remote work, Amsterdam-based pre-production companies are adopting cloud-based storyboarding tools that allow real-time collaboration between team members and clients, regardless of their location.
  5. Augmented Reality (AR) Location Scouting: Innovative pre-production experts in Amsterdam are using AR apps to overlay virtual set elements onto real locations during scouting, helping to visualize the final look before any physical construction begins.

According to a recent survey by the Dutch Digital Creative Industries Association, 78% of Amsterdam-based pre-production companies have adopted at least one of these innovative techniques in the past year, with VR storyboarding seeing a 45% increase in usage.

These approaches not only enhance creativity but also improve communication between all stakeholders involved in the pre-production process. They allow for more efficient workflows, reduced costs, and ultimately, a more refined final product. As Amsterdam continues to be a hub for creative and technological innovation, we can expect these trends to evolve further, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in pre-production visualization.



Pre-production strategies in Amsterdam play a crucial role in optimizing budgets and resources for projects, especially in the city's dynamic and competitive creative industry. Here are several ways pre-production can help streamline your project:

  1. Detailed Planning and Scheduling: Amsterdam's pre-production experts excel at creating comprehensive production schedules. This meticulous planning helps avoid costly overtime, reduces the risk of delays, and ensures efficient use of resources.
  2. Location Scouting: Amsterdam offers a diverse range of settings, from historic canal houses to modern architectural marvels. Effective pre-production involves thorough location scouting, which can lead to cost savings by:
    • Identifying locations that require minimal set dressing
    • Negotiating favorable rates with location owners
    • Finding locations that can serve multiple purposes within the same project
  3. Talent and Crew Selection: Amsterdam boasts a rich pool of multilingual talent and experienced crew members. Pre-production strategies involve careful selection and negotiation, ensuring you get the best talent within your budget constraints.
  4. Equipment and Technology Optimization: Pre-production experts in Amsterdam stay updated with the latest production technologies. They can recommend cost-effective equipment solutions, potentially reducing rental costs or suggesting more efficient alternatives.
  5. Risk Assessment and Contingency Planning: By identifying potential risks early in the pre-production phase, teams can develop contingency plans. This proactive approach can save significant amounts of money by avoiding last-minute changes or delays.
  6. Budget Allocation and Management: Pre-production strategies involve creating detailed budgets and allocating resources effectively. In Amsterdam's competitive market, this often includes:
    • Leveraging local industry connections for better rates
    • Identifying cost-saving opportunities unique to the Dutch market
    • Balancing quality and cost-effectiveness in vendor selection
  7. Streamlined Approval Processes: Establishing clear approval processes during pre-production can prevent costly revisions later. This is particularly important in Amsterdam, where projects often involve multiple stakeholders, including international clients.

According to a 2023 survey by the Amsterdam Economic Board, productions that invested in thorough pre-production planning reported an average of 15-20% savings on their overall budget compared to those that didn't.

Moreover, with Amsterdam's commitment to sustainability, pre-production strategies often incorporate eco-friendly practices. A report from the Netherlands Film Fund showed that productions using green pre-production strategies saved an average of 8% on energy and waste management costs.

By implementing these pre-production strategies, projects in Amsterdam can significantly optimize their budgets and resources, leading to more efficient and cost-effective productions while maintaining the high quality standards the city is known for in the creative industry.
