At Electric Egg we love sharing our passion for history through film. In 2022 we created large-scale animated projections as part of Gainsborough's Illuminate festival. Each of our three films traced an unknown story from the region's past.

In X24, we looked at Gainsborough's contribution to the war effort in the Second World War and the secret (or as it turns out, not so secret) construction of the X24 Midget Submarine now housed in the National Museum of the Royal Navy. 80 years ago today in 1944, X24 successfully attacked the docks in Bergen, Norway, causing disruption to enemy shipping.

As part of the project we involved the local community, with local school children at White's Wood Academy, creating the film's credit sequence and helping us with the voiceover narration.

On this Emergency Services day we want to pay tribute to the people of the East Midlands Ambulance Service, Lincolnshire Police & the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance who work tirelessly to look after people across our region. Over the last few years we have been lucky enough work with them all on a number of video and photography projects to support recruitment, training and communications.

Turning our lens on the people who dedicate their professional lives to helping people in our communities is always a rewarding and inspiring experience.

Thanks for all you do.

We had the pleasure of working with to create films that highlight their course offerings in their new multi-million pound facility (complete with a full scale airliner!), offering world class training for the air and space industry.

As part of this project, we created four individual course films which focused on Flight, Engineering, Travel & Tourism and Computing.In this project, use of stabilised rigs, tracks and drone (outdoor and indoor) has created short, dynamic films that showcase the range of skills you can learn through your studies and the fantastic facilities on offer.

On the beat with PC Mark Barr of Lincolnshire Police.

This is just a small part of a huge and comprehensive project for . We were commissioned to produce documentaries, promotional films and photography to support their recruitment strategy across their service.

The most rewarding part of this project was working with a variety of Police officers and staff to capture them in their roles and the passion they have for serving the people of Lincolnshire. Our cold winter day with PC Mark Barr around Grantham was just one of many days on this project, which also saw us go diving with the underwater search team, training with armed response and the police dogs and so much more.

Communicating the value of any academic research project requires universities and academics to consider the stories they are telling about the impact of their endeavour's. Arresting photographic imagery can help to tell these stories, enabling researchers and organisations to effectively promote and disseminate their work.

Electric Egg have vast experience in illustrating research and research activity through photography to tell these stories and also to promote the facilities and expertise of those that conduct the work.

Behind the scenes from a shoot in April with Sciensus in Nottingham.

The production was to promote the use of the Sciensus Intouch app to Sciensus customers to enable them to manage their medication and health conditions.

Working with actors and hired locations these two shoots for both stills and video required particularly thorough care and planning to ensure we effectively communicated the benefits of this app for patients which allows them to manage their healthcare, order medication and track their wellbeing.

We have worked closely with Sciensus for a number of years and continue to do so with more productions in the pipeline.

Character development is an important part of the animation work we do.

This image's shows the journey that the character Arthur Stanley, from our film 'The Age of Wonder', took from initial concept through to realised design. It’s not just the look of the character that’s important but considering how they move as well.

We have had the pleasure of profiling in a series of short documentaries, some of the amazing people who serve communities and protect the public in Lincolnshire as part of Lincolnshire Police. Here is the first in series of short documentaries we have produced for Lincs Police, part of a project with nearly 100 deliverable film assets.

Over the years we’ve toured the UK visiting the productions sites of our friends

Whilst they do make some pretty tasty food, instead our focus is often on Greencore’s people, capturing the jobs that they do and taking portraits of colleagues at work.

We’ve always found this challenging and interesting and you never fail to learn something!

It's Book Lovers' Day today!

In 2015, we were approached by to illustrate The Penguin Lessons, Tom Michell’s memoir of living with a penguin in a boys' boarding school. The book recounts the story of how the penguin, Juan Salvador, won the hearts of everyone he met.

As well as creating the cover and internal illustrations we were also commissioned to make an animated book trailer featuring a reading by BAFTA winning actor Bill Nighy.

One from the archives. A few years ago we partnered with our friends at to create resources to spread awareness around the issue of Hate Crime. This was a rewarding project, using animation to build on real testimony and bringing an important topic to the fore in a creative way.

Have you noticed the newest addition to the Hockney Gallery @ Cartwright Hall?

New to the Hockney Gallery, Cartwright Hall is this photographic print from Steven Hatton.

Steven Hatton, award-winning photographer, filmmaker and co-founder of the film production company Electric Egg has generously donated this photograph to Bradford District Museums and Galleries collection in appreciation of the times he spent visiting as a child and as a student in the city.

This photograph was taken during the private view of Hockney’s Eye: The Art and Technology of Depiction at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 2022 -shortly before David Hockney’s 85th birthday. During the shoot, the artist and the photographer reminisced about growing up and sharing the same primary school in Eccleshill, Bradford - the image went on to be used by The Guardian on 6 July 2022.

Even when we’re not on a commissioned shoot, we’re often working on our own projects or have a camera to hand. Even when Steve is away he will have his camera with him, filters, batteries and cards packed and his luggage allowance used up by his tripod and kit.

A few from across Europe.

Can anyone name where they were all taken?

Portrait photography is close to our hearts at Electric Egg.

Portrait Promenade shares this passion with the public, inviting people to share our practice and process and to become part of an exhibition that celebrates their community and what makes it unique. Taking to the streets with a tripod, light meter and a vintage medium-format camera, we spoke to people about portraiture and ask them to take part. Portrait Promenade is as much about the experience as the result.

Here are a few shots from when we took Portrait Promenade to the streets of Holbeach and Spalding, working with

Art on a giant scale! Working with and , and funded by , we created Fenland Folk.

Electric Egg were asked to create 10 artworks to adorn the side of Freshlinc trailers. In consultation with Freshlinc employees, 10 subjects were chosen to depict elements of South Holland & Boston Borough’s heritage. Our designs included subjects such as the Mayflower Pilgrims and Botanist Joseph Banks.

On the rear trailer doors was a portrait of each employee who nominated the subject with the reason for their choice. These designs have just been retired from Freshlinc’s trailers but spent almost a decade on the road taking the history and heritage of the area across the UK and mainland Europe.

One of the greatest pleasures of landscape photography is seeing how a location changes throughout the year and the different opportunities that presents for a shoot.

A few years ago, we were commissioned by to shoot these landscapes to promote the beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Steve headed off with his tripod, backpack and camera and came back with these.

In 2023, we worked with JUST Lincolnshire on ‘What I Want to See’. Working with community groups and schools across Lincolnshire, we explored the issue of anti-social behaviour and violence against women and girls through a series of workshops. In these workshops we used creativity as a means to start conversations around the topic and participants learnt how to make their own camera less photographs using Cyanotypes, an early form of Victorian photographic printing.

The results were astounding, with children as young as 6 learning how to expose their own cyanotype prints and mount their own pop-up exhibitions. An inspiring project to be a part of alongside JUST Lincolnshire

A few shots from a great few days at Newark’s Air and Space Institute in May shooting both stills and video. An incredibly rewarding space to shoot in with some amazing facilities. We used a lot of dramatic lighting set-ups and coloured gels to accent ASI’s branding in the shots.

It's National Camera Day!

Electric Egg have been around for 19 years now. When we started, this was our first video camera, a Canon XM2, . Things have changed a lot since then. From standard definition, to high def, to 4K and now, incredibly, 8K. A lot of change but it's all kit, what hasn't changed is the focus on storytelling.

England take on Slovenia tonight, but in 2022 we made a film about a very different type of football match!

In 2022, we created a large-scale animated projection for Gainsborough's Illuminate festival. Each of our three films for the event explored an unknown story from the region's past.

Beginning with a newspaper clipping that cryptically references to a 1921 match between Gainsborough Trinity and an elephant, we expanded the story and re-imagined what might have happened. The local community got involved too, with children from Benjamin Adlard Primary School providing the narration.

If anyone knows more about what actually really happened at that match, we’d love to know.

Oh, and the result? lost 3-1 to the elephant!
