I've been working with cancer patients for more than 20 years now and the people I meet never cease to amaze me! It was such a pleasure to meet pocket rocket Maya and her lovely family. Big thanks to Birmingham Live for highlighting the story. Please give it a click, read the story and watch the video - it will help journalism, it will help Cancer Research UK and most of all it will help other children like Maya...

Maya Mason crossed the finish line at Redditch Race for Life just six months after doctors found a tumour growing in her chest

What a privilege to film the official proclamation of King Charles III in Birmingham for Westside BID yesterday. Witnessing hundreds of people shout 'God Save the King' felt a bit like filming extras in a historical drama. Surreal.

Thousands of people gathered on Westside to witness Birmingham’s official proclamation of King Charles III. The huge crowd gathered in respectful silence to watch the special ceremony outside the Library of Birmingham in Centenary Square at 1pm on Sunday 11 September. Westside BID commissioned a t...

Great news for Broad Street businesses!

Having spent an interesting morning updating the video section of our website, I'm amazed by how many we've made over the past few years, working with charities, businesses, the NHS, other organisations and even the odd celeb or two. It's amazing what you can do with a smartphone these days! Let us know if we can help you with your videos - visit: http://www.magiclantern-media.co.uk/our-work-

We were up with the lark on Sunday morning taking pictures and video for St Giles Hospice's fantastic Cycle Spring event. It was great to see more than 500 riders coming together for such a worthy cause - well done to everyone involved!

05/05/2022

We were delighted to be able to help Westside BID shout out about the great attractions that Brum's Golden Mile has to offer. Hopefully 2022 is going to be the year that Brum's hospitality scene comes roaring back!

03/05/2022

How did you spend your bank holiday? We spent the afternoon filming in Birmingham's Broad Street to help promote some of the fantastic initiaties that Westside BID has in store to support the businesses in Brum's Golden Mile. Keep your eyes peeled - some great ideas are coming to fruition!

21/04/2022

I'm just packing up and sending back my laptop after more than a year of working with the fantastic Mlcsu Comms. If I've been a little quiet on social media lately it's because I've been busy producing press releases and videos for a host of subjects including mental health and inclusion, nursing recruitment, digital health innovations and respect for NHS staff.

Oh, and let's not forget six months working to promote the COVID-19 vaccine uptake across Staffordshire! I've worked closely with the marketing team to help with copywriting and copy editing as well as helping NHS England to produce two national videos about population health management.

It's been a privilege working with our brilliant NHS again but now that it's time to move on I can't wait to see what the next 12 months will hold. Bring it on!

Magic Lantern Media had a fun afternoon with Cllr Waseem Zaffar and Cllr Ian Ward of Birmingham City Council learning about new Westside BID chair Gerald Manton's vision for the district. Watch our video to find out more about the exciting plans for the future.

We were proud to put our video skills to use spreading the word about this vital campaign! Treat NHS staff with respect, please!

Great to be back out on the road today, filming maternity exercise videos for the NHS in Shropshire! I don't think I'd have the energy if I was eight months pregnant....

We've spent an evening on patrol with the Westside Wardens too - they do an amazing job under occasionally very difficult circumstances!

Birmingham Live reporter Harry Leach has highlighted the crucial and brave work of our Westside wardens after joining them for an eventful Saturday night shift on the Golden Mile. Harry shared his experiences with readers after joining senior warden Pete Willis and warden Nicola Hebberts as they pat...

And we’re back on the road! Magic Lantern Media are down in Chelmsford spreading the word about filming on your smartphone to a group of NHS comms professionals. A fun two days of training beckon!

25/09/2021

A fun morning spent working at the St Giles Hospice - but I think I ended up running further than the St Giles heroes did!

24/09/2021

Well, what a day that was! Great to see the amazing Brereton Million community receive the first ever Compassionate Communities UK Charter Award. Here's Paula interviewing Amanda Milling MP who was blown away by all they've achieved.

10/09/2021

It's an exciting day for Magic Lantern Media! We've just taken on a new client and it's one that reflects the values we hold most dear - compassion and kindness. Compassionate Communities is all about that in abundance. Google 'Survival of the Kindest podcast' for more on that. For now, watch out for posts about this important film screening coming up which examines grief during the time of COVID: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/compassionate-communities-uk-presents-beyond-the-mask-tickets-166638368847

Westside BID 2020 WOWS Awards

It was only a year ago, but it seems a lifetime away! This time last year we filmed the Westside BID Wonders of Westside (WoW) awards - but Sunday night's 2021 awards will be a very different (virtual) event for obvious reasons. Good luck to all the nominees and we hope you have a great time... you deserve it after this very challenging year! #hospitalityindustry #covid #event

Spanish Armada

We're always saying that you can say a lot in a short video - and you can say it without even appearing in it yourself if you don't want to! Exhibit A is my daughter's homework on the Spanish Armada... currently going down a storm on Twitter! # #twitter #youcan #facebook #youtube #onlinevideo #videomarketing #shortvideo #onlinemedia #videomarketingtips
