Hollywood in de Klas

Hollywood in de Klas has been the most renowned producer of final films for Primary School students since 2005. These films replace the traditional musical to give students a fun conclusion to their primary school years before they transition to secondary school (high school in The Netherlands). These are feature films, complete with scripts approximately 45 minutes long. They have various scripts, such as their camp being sabotaged and discovering who did it, to scenarios where the local authority wants to demolish the school, so they turn it into a hotel. It involves a lot of funny moments and situations. Additionally, they incorporate a lot of music, sound effects, motion graphics, and animations.

Since February 2023, I have been working for Hollywood in de Klas with great pleasure and have edited around 15 feature films over two seasons so far. Luc ten Brundel (film coach at Hollywood in de Klas) films everything in one day at the school, and then I edit the film. Besides editing, I also use my voice as a voice-over for the films.

I haven’t made a showreel of the films because of privacy measurements. In the videos on the right, you get an idea of few of their scripts from one of the other filmcoaches there. I haven’t edited these but they look similar.

  • Applying effects: I incorporate various effects, sounds, and animations to enhance the scripts or create funny moments.
  • Voice-overs: I use a professional microphone to record voice-overs, delivering them in a way that is suitable for kids—enthusiastic and playful.
  • Advanced sound mixing: I ensure that audio from different angles sounds natural and of the highest quality.
  • Background music: I use diverse music tracks to enhance the films, ensuring the background music complements the situation.
"For the past two years, I have had an intensive collaboration with Sonny. With "Hollywood in de klas," we create final films at primary schools as a farewell for group 8. To be able to shoot more films, I wanted to outsource my editing and came to Sonny.

Since then, he has edited around 15 feature films of approximately 40 minutes for me. I am very satisfied with his work. Sonny is very independent, asks for feedback and incorporates it immediately, is pleasant (and quick) in communication, meets his agreements and deadlines, is very creative, and continues to grow as a video editor.

Due to the collaboration with Sonny, I can not only shoot more films, but the quality of the films has also increased tremendously. I hope that we can continue to provide group 8 with a great farewell from primary school as a 'team' for a long time. I can only give Sonny 5 stars!"
