We’ve been telling stories for over 40 years, accumulating all kinds of experience in many different sectors, including commercial, broadcast, documentary, education, energy and many more. We believe everyone’s story is unique, no matter who you are, we’ll use our 40 years experience to help you tell yours.
Finalsite are one of our long term clients and they approached us as someone they trusted to explain their company offer reflecting their clean and refined style. The result was this explainer animation which was devised and delivered in house.
We started discussing the idea of a short film with the Click last year, their only brief was to create something in the vein of our documentary work... Oh and they didn't want to feature in it. The result is a film about the Clicks process and the creation a brand, from the perspective of their clients. It was great working with a client who trusted us enough to be hands-off through the large chunk of the process, and to follow our instinct of what would make a compelling story about their work.
Thanks to The Click and to Erika, Robert, Lucy and Steve who kindly gave their time and expertise to the film.
Annu's moving on!
She has overseen huge changes in the company and, moving through various production roles up to Head Of Production, has been an organisational extraordinaire as well as being a core part of our creative team at Eye Film. On top of that she has brought too many good vibes, an infectious love of dogs, unparalleled parallel parking, along with never forgetting a birthday or missing a chance to celebrate! Good luck Annu, we will miss you!
Very proud to have won these.
We won! We were surprised to win not one but two awards at the Royal Television Society East event in Cambridge last month.
Discovering the Gloucester won Specialist Factual and our film for Town Close won Promotional Film. A wonderful recognition of the whole team's hard work. So good to have Lincoln, Claire and Ben from the Gloucester project with us for the night too... They brought the story to us and brought the film to life!
A brilliant evening with so much local talent being recognised, proud as always to be part of this growing community.
Thrilled to be nominated for 3 RTS awards at tomorrow's event!
From shipwrecks to cutting edge driving simulators, we have been nominated for both documentary and commercial projects. The standard of competition is very high this year with so many great films and production companies from the region in the running, feels like a great honour to be nominated amongst them.
Over 70,000 people came to the exhibition where this film told the story of how Julian and Lincoln discovered the Gloucester. Very proud it’s been nominated for an RTS.
Very proud of this film. Thank you Town Close School for working with us again.
We’re hiring.
We are looking for illustrators or graphic designer to help with asset creation for a project for the Norwich Castle. These assets will be used to create a series of animated scenes shown within a short documentary film which will be featured as part of the new displays in the newly refurbished and renovated Norwich Castle Museum once open!
Capturing the visual language and style of 11th and 12th Century medieval manuscripts is really key to this project, so if you are interested, please email [email protected] and we can provide references, further information and project rates.
Town Close School had seen our work with Compendia, using layering and split screen, and wanted to see how we could incorporate that into a fun and inspiring film about the school. We worked with their marketing team to script the voice over and it was spoken by a group of talented young pupils.
"Teeny bit of filming with and Norfolk County Council in our colourful home to promote adoption...more soon... if you have ever thought you'd like to do something BLOODY AMAZING with your life, think fostering or adoption!" -
Some more BTS from a few recent shoots for Norfolk County Council's adoption service 🎥
"We now require another green revolution, which is more sustainable, and reduces the impact of agriculture on the environment."
We set out to help John Innes Centre creatively highlight the amazing work and learning on their MSc course, as well as the global climate crises. The aim was to frame the environmental problem quickly and keep it engaging, which we achieved using a combination of our own filming and stock footage.

Very close to launch time for Norfolk County Council's upcoming Adoption Campaign. An inspiring project that we hope has long lasting impact in the region.
We don’t just make films, we also nurture talent.
We’re proud to be the founding partner and active supporter of City College Norwich’s Media Learning Company, an intensive training course which gives students experience of working in a production company and a practical introduction to all the different roles within the film and television industry.
Colorifix are on a mission to change the fashion industry by revolutionising the dying process. 🎨
A couple of years ago we set out to make a dynamic brand film that reflected the excitement, experience and energy of a company that is rapidly growing in size and impact. Colorifix wanted the voice of the whole company reflected, not just the founders, so the project involved a lot of interviews (and editing!) to create a film that would explain the problems the industry faced and the solution Colorifix offered.
Another shoot this week for the Eye Film crew, with an inspiring couple and their son. They will feature as part of the fostering & adoption campaign we are working on with Norfolk County Council.
A beautiful film we shot with biOrb capturing their unique approach to hand crafted aquariums, terrariums and vivariums 🌊

"Fishermen to Kings" 2018
In 2018 Eye got the opportunity to work with portrait photographer Rankin in a film about Sheringham’s famous photographer Olive Edis. 📸
As part of the film Rankin was shooting scenes in Edis's old studio in South Street where he was using her original camera to take pictures of Lord of the Rings star Bernard Hill. “Olive took photographs in her studio using only natural light and it's quite a challenge using her camera that's over a century old to emulate her style,” said Rankin. “Olive was a pioneer of portrait photography and one of only a handful of female photographers making their mark in a male world. Her work is hugely inspiring for what I do today.”
Directed by Clive Dunn.
Working with Norfolk County Council.
Another proud collaboration project for Eye Film & Norfolk County Council. We've recently had the pleasure in helping to encourage fostering & adoption across Norfolk 📸

"Highway Agency: Respect" 2007 Back in 2007, Eye produced a series of films for the Highway Agency. The hospital and classroom sets were built in a warehouse in Norwich, featuring (very expensive to insure!) hospital equipment. Look out for the all to real reactions in the car crash scene, as the stuntman remarkably jumped the gun on the countdown in order to get the most authentic take. Directed by Frank Predegast. DOP Mike Coles.
Norfolk now has an official film office @norfolk_screen who can advise on location options for film shoots. 🏞️ 🎥 We’ve been lucky to shoot at some of the most beautiful places across our home county over the years. #norfolk #eastofengland #locations #filmlocations #filmcrew #film #cinematographer
"Alderney: The War Years" 2018 A passion project from the outset, this film tells the story of a British Channel Island off the coast of France in World War Two and explored the little known fact that Alderney housed the only concentration camp on British soil. We delved into what really happened during those traumatic war years and the affect it has had on the survivors and the island ever since.
"Work in Norwich" 2023 Last year, Eye created 5 award winning short films that centred around Norwich Business Improvement District's inward investment campaign, designed to get people to come and work in our fine city. This one shows Norwich being within touching distance of beautiful beaches and coast. Directed and edited by Andrew Prosser Shot by Andrew Prosser and Cameron Black
