Rio de Janeiro mega-city educational video goes live

Catherine Balston • Apr 03, 2020

As parents around the world get to grips with homeschooling their children, a Story Productions' educational video is launched

With around half of humanity currently in some sort of quarantine, watching as the COVID-19 crisis wreaks havoc on public health systems and economies around the world, life goes on in bubbles of isolation. For children (and their long-suffering parents) this means homeschooling. Distance learning tools as well as video communication apps have proven invaluable for many families to be able to keep their children busy and learning.

The timing couldn’t have been more auspicious, then, for the launch of an educational video for the German school network that Story Productions created last year, about Rio de Janeiro, as part of a series about mega-cities around the world. From pre- through to post-production, it invites young German learners to understand the city’s history and current reality through beautiful imagery, interviews and music. And for the children’s parents, seeing the beach life and sunshine in one of the world’s most beautiful cities might be inspiration for a much-needed future holiday.

Watch the teaser below and watch out for an English version coming soon.

Since 17th March, shoots in São Paulo have been suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak, including location scouting and technical visits. The Story Productions crew is still very much in action and connected, albeit at a distance, focusing for the time being on post-production projects as well as original music composition for television and web series. Get in touch if we can help you move a project forward in post-production.
