Trailer - Michael's Story
Introducing our second film that has been nominated for a Charity Film Awards...
Michael's Story - in partnership with the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
When a skydive manoeuvre went wrong, Michael came crashing down to earth at approximately 40mph, causing a significant spinal injury. The air ambulance was dispatched, and just minutes later, the critical care team arrived to help Michael.
Here's a trailer for the film and the full version can be watched on the Smiley website, alongside the VOTE button - https://smileycharityfilmawards.com/films/michaels-story

P.S. You may have seen our post yesterday with a trailer for the other film that's been nominated. Each film is in it's own category so they're not competing with each other.

A Scene in 60 - The importance of set dressing on video
A Scene in 6️⃣0️⃣ 🎥: The importance of set dressing in video.
Sometimes overlooked, the backdrop to videos are a vital piece of storytelling.
A thoughtfully crafted set doesn’t just provide visual appeal - it creates a mood, supports the story and immerses the audience in the moment.
Check out how we created a festive atmosphere for Kenwood's video with legendary chef, Raymond Blanc.

A Scene in 60 - Using the EyeDirect to create personal connections
A Scene in 6️⃣0️⃣ 🎥: Using the EyeDirect to create personal connections.
Storytelling is at the heart of what we do and we find the best stories are told down the lens. The only issue? You’re talking to a lens!
Check out how we use our EyeDirect to overcome this barrier, bring out the emotions and keep the focus squarely on our subject.

Behind the scenes with MindWorks Marketing 👀
Such a fun project to work on with Mindworks, a full service marketing agency, to create content featuring a 1914 Sunbeam F1 car. Our brief was to entice people into buying the car by making it look quintessentially British.
What better way to achieve this than capture stunning drone footage of the car smoothly driving through Yorkshire and being driven by no other than the British racing legend Neil Corner.
All areas of production was used for this shoot including filming, photography and drone to create exciting content that led to the car being sold in California.

What you should know before you press record
TIP OF THE MONTH 💡 What you need to know before you press record.
✋ Hands up if you've hit record and something has gone wrong. Perhaps it's too dark where you've set up, or it's tea time in the office and it sounds like a stampede is approaching.
We know there's a benefit to making videos in-house so this month's tip runs you through some of the things you might not have thought about before you start filming.
What fails have you experienced when you've been filming?

We recently worked with Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group who commissioned this documentary telling the story of the quirky Selsey Tramway.
The Selsey Tramway was the brainchild of Colonel Stephens. It opened in 1897, having taken just four months to build. There were 11 stations along the route and for a number of years it was a very popular form of transport which carried goods and tourists on and off the peninsular.
Gradually, the service became more and more unreliable and suffered from competition from the bus and motorcar before it finally closed in 1935.
It's currently being screened as part of an exhibition at The Novium Museum in Chichester, West Sussex, so go and check it out if you're local.
Here's a snippet of the documentary and you can view the full version on our YouTube channel (link in comments).

We’re officially a teenager! Turning a year older in business always brings a moment of reflection and this year is no different. We’ve hit 13 years in business - which is pretty crazy when we look back at how the video industry has evolved, expanded, and diversified.
One thing that’s always remained, as far as Millstream is concerned, is the art of engaging storytelling. Bringing stories to life and adding emotion to them is something we strive for every day.
This year we’ve established ourselves as not only a leading video agency, but we now offer photography as a premium service. In addition to animation and drone, we are proud to support our client’s stories with all the right content."
Most importantly, we couldn’t have made it to 13 without the incredible team at Millstream. We employ 13 of the best video creatives collaborating every day on projects, with so much passion, kindness and humour.
Thank you team.
Ben
