Yayasan Hasanah: The Hasanah Report (THR) & Hasanah Rimba Raya 2024

The Hasanah Gold Threads Awards (HGTA) 2024 presented a unique challenge. As a prestigious event recognizing exceptional contributions in a specific category, Yayasan Hasanah required a visually captivating and seamlessly executed awards ceremony that would not only honor the winners but also deliver an unforgettable experience to the attendees. They needed a partner who could manage both the creative and logistical aspects of the event, including designing the exhibition and handling the complex RSVP process for the awards dinner.

Our goal was to ensure that the event flowed smoothly while showcasing the excellence associated with Yayasan Hasanah’s values.

The event was held at Rumah Tangsi, Kuala Lumpur. The venue’s heritage status, limited size, and central location required careful planning to maintain the flow of the event. Additionally, the winning pieces exhibited were of high value, meticulously crafted, and extremely delicate, demanding careful handling and display solutions.

We approached this project by first identifying Yayasan Hasanah’s core pain points:

1. Engaging Attendees: The event needed to create lasting impressions, both in its design and delivery. From guest experience to visual aesthetics, every element had to reflect the prestige of the awards.
2. Streamlining Event Logistics: Managing attendee registration and streamlining the guest list while ensuring a smooth flow of the awards ceremony and marketplace activities.
3. Cohesive Branding: The event’s visual and thematic elements needed to align with the Hasanah brand, emphasizing sustainability, tradition, and excellence.

How We Solved Them:

• Engagement & Visuals: We designed visually engaging exhibition that would set the tone for the event. Our team ensured that every detail from the entrance to the awards stage was optimized for impact.
• Visual Branding and Artwork Presentation: We designed the event’s key visuals to encapsulate the essence of the Hasanah Gold Threads Awards, ensuring that every element reflected the award’s prestige. Additionally, we captured high-resolution details of the award-winning pieces for use in the event visuals, showcasing their craftsmanship and value.
• Streamlined Logistics: We handled the RSVP system for the awards dinner, ensuring that each guest's registration experience was efficient and organized. The clear category of attendees was key in simplifying the check-in process.
• Cohesive Event Flow: We developed detailed master plans and run sheets to ensure that each component, from the marketplace to the awards dinner, was executed flawlessly. This included zoning the venue for optimal foot traffic and creating a seamless event journey for all attendees.
• Comprehensive Media and Event Coverage: We managed the media coverage, including a livestream of the awards ceremony, enabling the event to reach a broader audience and ensuring no moment was missed.

We focused on overcoming the venue’s limitations by optimizing the layout and managing traffic flow, ensuring that the heritage building’s character was respected while maintaining a seamless guest experience. Our team also addressed the delicate nature of the exhibition pieces by creating secure and aesthetically pleasing displays. Managing media coverage and livestream capabilities was also a priority, ensuring the event reached a broader audience.

Our execution phase was defined by detailed planning and dynamic teamwork. Key deliverables included:

• Exhibition and Event Design: We developed the event’s exhibition panels to visually communicate Yayasan Hasanah’s mission and vision, offering a space that felt both grand and welcoming.
• Comprehensive Event Planning: We created and managed essential event documentation, including the Event Master Plan, Zoning Master Plan, and Call Sheet for the Awards Dinner. This allowed for precise management of logistics, ensuring that everything ran on time.
• RSVP and Attendee Management: We meticulously handled the RSVP process for the awards dinner on September 5, categorizing attendees based on the client’s specifications to maintain an efficient flow during the event.
• On-Site Coordination: Our team was present on-site to manage all the logistics, technical details, and stage coordination. This ensured that the event was executed without any disruptions, allowing the client to focus on their guests and honourees.

We designed and executed detailed floor plans, adapting the event flow to suit Rumah Tangsi’s size and historical constraints. Our media team provided comprehensive coverage, including a livestream to engage virtual attendees. The intricate display of the winning pieces ensured both their security and prominence. Additionally, the RSVP process was streamlined for an efficient guest experience.

Despite the challenges presented by the venue, the flow of the event was smooth, and the displayed artworks were showcased beautifully. The media coverage and livestream further amplified the reach of the event, enhancing its impact beyond the physical space.

Velesto Energy approached VISIOLAB with a clear goal: to showcase their cutting-edge operations and technologies at OGA 2024. They needed a wide range of content that would visually communicate their expertise in the oil and gas industry, engage trade show attendees, and extend their reach through online channels. The project required high-end production, including a 360º virtual tour of their offshore drilling rig, immersive 3D animations, daily event coverage, and social media content to ensure continuous audience interaction throughout the event.

Velesto Energy’s primary challenge was to present their complex drilling technologies and offshore operations in a visually compelling and easily digestible format for a diverse audience. They also needed to create a seamless, immersive experience that could educate potential clients, industry professionals, and students, both at the trade show and through digital platforms.

VISIOLAB devised a multi-pronged content strategy, aimed at solving these pain points:

1. Simplified Technical Content: Through the use of 3D animation explainer videos, we simplified complex drilling processes, making them understandable for non-experts.
2. Interactive Experience: The 360º drilling rig virtual tour offered an immersive ‘day-in-the-life’ experience of offshore work, giving trade show attendees and online viewers a first-hand look at the scale and operations of Velesto’s rigs.
3. Constant Engagement: Daily social media content, live event coverage, and themed screensavers helped Velesto maintain continuous visibility and engagement with their audience throughout OGA 2024.

VISIOLAB executed a comprehensive content production plan that spanned multiple platforms and mediums:

• 3D Drilling Animation Explainer: A detailed, visually appealing 3D animation that broke down the intricate drilling processes Velesto employs. This was crucial in simplifying their technical operations for a broader audience.
• 360º Virtual Tour: Using cutting-edge technology, we created an immersive virtual tour of Velesto’s offshore drilling rig, showcasing key areas of the rig such as the helideck, living quarters, command room, and drilling floor. This interactive tour was featured at their OGA booth and on digital platforms, educating viewers about offshore life.
• 3D Animation Logo, Tagline, and Theme Screensavers: We designed eye-catching animated logo sequences and screensavers that incorporated Velesto’s tagline and theme, reinforcing their branding across all digital touchpoints.
• Event Coverage: VISIOLAB provided comprehensive event coverage, capturing the highlights of Velesto’s participation in OGA 2024. This included photography, videography, and live updates across social media platforms.
• Daily Social Media Content: Throughout the event, we produced daily content, including videos, images, and updates, keeping Velesto’s audience engaged both onsite and online.

Our challenge was to deliver an engaging, memorable experience for scholars, their families, and dignitaries, while emphasizing the visual and emotional impact of the event.

This is a short documentary that took a month of planning and a heartfelt pitch before it got the green light.

We started our journey in the quiet of the night, leaving Cyberjaya's glowing skyline behind. Our destination was nestled deep in Pahang's embrace, where the modern world seemed to fade away. Arriving at Kuala Lipis at 3 am, we caught a few hours of rest before the real work began.

As dawn broke, we were greeted by a mesmerizing sight—the kampung waking up, a blend of tradition and the new dawn of progress. We met the acting Tok Batin, the village chief, and started to weave the story of a community being reborn through the support of Petronas.

PETRONAS had been working tirelessly, not just in Rakoh but all over Malaysia, empowering the various needy communities. They brought in solar-powered water filters, providing the villagers with a clean and constant water supply—a luxury in such remote areas. The night in Rakoh was no longer a veil of darkness; solar-powered lights now dotted the landscape, a beacon of safety and progress. Education was another cornerstone of their efforts, ensuring the villagers could maintain and grow with these new systems for years to come.

Yet, amidst this backdrop of change, we faced our own set of challenges. Language barriers and the unpredictable nature of working with children as our main actors tested our patience and creativity. But with the help of the villagers, especially one dedicated mother, we kept the shoot on track.

The documentary wrapped up later than planned, but the delay came with a silver lining—we captured the stunning sunset over a transformed village. Leaving was tough, especially when we saw our clients without a ride. So, in a spur-of-the-moment decision, we gave up our seats and hitched a ride on the back of the 4x4s, ensuring everyone got back safely.

Reflecting on those two days, "Amir and His Village" wasn't just a project; it was a profound experience. We didn't just film a story; we became a part of it, witnessing the incredible impact Petronas has had on this vibrant community. A big shout-out to the team for pulling through every hurdle with a smile.
