View TOR response See relevant work

Executive Understanding

UNIDO and GEIPP Viet Nam need updated, high-quality visual materials that show practical change at industrial parks and enterprises, while remaining credible to technical audiences and clear to the public.

What needs to be shown

The work should document real impact: resource efficiency, cleaner production, circular economy practices, industrial symbiosis, improved infrastructure, and human outcomes.

Where it needs to work

The outputs should serve events, presentations, digital platforms, social media, media outreach, and future archive needs.

How it should feel

Credible, human, cinematic, restrained, technically accurate, and never generic or overly promotional.

Creative and Production Approach

We will shape the assignment around a clear journey from challenge, to change, to results, to future direction.

The films should feel grounded in real places and real voices, not assembled from corporate talking points.

Challenge

Why transformation is needed

Climate change, ESG expectations, green supply chains, Net Zero, resource pressure, and competitiveness create the context.

Change

How support becomes action

UNIDO, SECO, the Ministry of Finance, and GEIPP Viet Nam support industrial parks and enterprises in identifying practical solutions.

Results

What improves on the ground

Lower resource use, stronger operations, reduced emissions, better working environments, and clearer pathways to scale.

Visual style

Clean, modern documentary visuals
Cinematic but restrained
Drone shots for scale where permitted
Ground-level footage for human connection
Technical systems filmed clearly and understandably

Filming approach

Interviews with stakeholders, enterprises, and workers
Observational documentary filming
B-roll of factories, systems, production, and environment
Photography captured alongside video production
Coverage planned by location and content category
