Quarry Bank Mill: National Trust.
On this work for Quarry Bank Mill we weren’t making a comment. We were merely trying to show life as it was in the factory as accurately, as painful and as noisy as possible so visitors could catch a glimpse of life inside a working mill. Proud to work alongside The Workhaus, Mather & Co. and FusionLX to craft this story for National Trust

From the vault: PowerPoint Perfection
Yesterday we posted the TalkTalk Next Generation animation but it wouldn't be right not to show you its interactive interface - that was only gone and built in flippin PowerPoint! Fantastic, creative and really clear interactives come as standard, but to build it in PowerPoint? Well that's just naughty.

One from the vault: TalkTalk Next Generation
This animation was designed to introduce the new and improved ways of working being introduced at TalkTalk. Looking back, we still love the transitions across the environments and storytelling through simple iconography.
This played a part in a larger project with a blend of design, animation and digital development within an interactive PowerPoint allowing easy access across the business.

United Utilities: Fleet Maintenance Recruitment Film 🔧
UU commissioned us to create a video to attract talent into their fleet maintenance team with an aim to highlight the work/life balance, working environment and career development benefits that sometimes can’t be presented in a job advert.
With our video we show potential UU candidates what working with them is really all about, we did this by filming one of their current teams on site to talk about their experiences whilst working there.

Get your audience listening 2: THE INTERVIEW
When people speak about their product or service with real passion, energy and (on occasion) emotion it's a really powerful form of communication.
But getting the interview right is a real skill.
Making the subject feel relaxed, how to frame, what is the message (the important bit), do we throw in an abrasive questions to evoke emotion or have them walk and talk? There's a lot that goes into getting a great interview, but man it's powerful when done right.

How did we get here? For many companies, your story is your brand.
Telling this story in the right way can be crucial.
Us Ducks are known for crafting much loved stories for our corporate and heritage clients - very occasionally we get to mix the two, producing corporate heritage for clients. A history of Gas is Cadent Gas Limited's story, we used actual pipes as the timeline to help to tell their story.
Our head of design, Seb Chadwick led on the creative:
“Created to fit within a living wall, the team at Cadent had a vision for a timeline to sit as the atrium centrepiece to their new premises in Ansty Park. Working with fit-out experts, The Workhaus Projects to produce 3 types of scenic pipework. Moving from rusted cast-iron to modern polythene to LED strip lighting for that futuristic feel to convey Cadent's vision for hydrogen power. "

Get your audience listening: THE CUT
A huge part of story telling through film is in the edit. This is where we finally get to see the magic of film come to life. Trimming footage to get that precise emotion you're after is a real talent, and if the editor's doing a good job - an invisible one.

Do you have role models in your business?
Cadent Gas Ltd, the UK’s largest gas distribution network, were looking to grow the number of women in their Operations division. We worked closely to produce this aspirational film to inspire women, at every level of their pathway to consider Operations as a viable career choice.

One from the vault: CORPORATE ANIMATION
Using animation as the tool to skip across continents, here's how we helped seventy7 launch their wonderful new brand to their team and clients, keeping their ethos of 'We plan. Create. Optimise.' central, with a transition style representing the seamless flow of seventy7's work throughout - with a friendly tone of voice, track and down-to-earth imagery. Lovely.

Borrowdale Temperate Rainforest:
@nationaltrust @naturalengland🌳
The National Trust’s team asked us to create a new film presenting the incredible diversity and richness of the biggest remaining portion of the UK’s ancient Atlantic oakwood forest.
Using interviews, drones and getting up close to the trees, we created a film that presented exactly why this forest is so vital. This film was made to support Borrowdale's submission, and has now been declared a new National Nature Reserve in an effort to protect the habitat for generations.
Watch the full film here: https://lnkd.in/eFENqVit

The spark of an idea is one of our storm56 briefs. Here we’re trying to express the emotion you feel with that initial spark of inspiration, through to seeing your idea develop, to the courage to release this creativity into the world. Through a combination of live-action, poetry, interpretive dance and VFX we’re attempting to create a world where this story of creativity is realised.
Here’s a look behind the scenes whilst on a test shoot for the film. Just prepping for the shoot now, full film coming soon.🎬

Cadent: Mental health awareness video.
‘Moving more for our mental health’ is the theme of Mental Health Awareness week 2024. With this in mind, Cadent asked us to produce a film to celebrate and break down barriers to talking about mental health. Cadent employees helped tell the story of what mental health means to them, how they stay active to aid their mental health and shared the support systems Cadent have in place to support their workforce with their mental health.

The Ducks are off for their annual trip to watch Warrington Wolves this evening. Working for the 'Wire' was our first steps into producing exhibition work for sport - since this, back in 2013 we've told stories for clubs such as PSG, Man Utd, National Football Museum and the story of golf at St Andrews to name a few. But this journey all began at Warrington...as did ours.
