We had a fab shoot today as the 1st in a series of films for Fox’s Biscuits, talking to convenience retailers on how to make the most of the brand in the biscuit aisle of their stores. Rumours we made off with a dozen Jammie Dodgers and a box of Viennese Swirls cannot be confirmed or denied ☕️🍪

We had a sobering and humbling shoot today with road safety client Applied Driving. We filmed a case study with Dale. Dale's story is that on New Year's Day 2021 he was crossing the road in Portsmouth and was hit by a car doing 47mph in a 30 zone!!! He suffered multiple injuries including a life-changing spinal injury that has left him paralysed at 30 yrs old. Despite his accident, it was emotional and inspiring to hear Dale tell how he lives life to the full, with a loving family and beautiful wife and 2yr old daughter and their dog Pumpkin. He owes his life to the Hampshire & IOW Air Ambulance service - a vital service our Director Steve knows the importance of only too well, having been airlifted to hospital himself a decade ago

We were back in the beautiful city of Oxford this week shooting some area photography for one of our property development clients. Love the gothic architecture of the fabulous university buildings and so easy to see why they inspired JK Rowling to create Harry Potter

We were saddened to read about Sir Chris Hoy and his terminal cancer diagnosis today. We photographed him at an event back in 2022 in London and he was a thoroughly nice guy - warm, funny and very engaged giving a talk on his career and achievements. Shocking to hear of someone so young, active and healthy to be given a terminal diagnosis and a reminder to all men of 45 and over to get their prostate checked regularly

As part of our ongoing shoot with the Royal Navy we spent 2 days on base last week at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth filming recruits being put through a gruelling routine. A stunning site and location in the Devon countryside

It's been a busy week as we delivered an animated explainer video for a new client with a fantastic sharing app that is making huge waves in the effort to reduce food waste. In a throw-away society, we love what Olio are doing to create a future with no waste

We had another great shoot last week for Britvic at their HQ in Hemel Hempstead. They commissioned us to create 2 case study videos for valued members of staff who are up for an award at the industry's prestigious Food & Drink Federation Awards. These films highlight the innovative work done by Beth and Sibo in creating the Plenish Barista rage of plant milks. Fingers crossed for them when the awards take place this week.

We're back from a fab week in Kefalonia. We picked this as our hols destination this year after much research, as we've always wanted to film and photograph baby turtles hatching and making their way to the sea. Mission accomplished! We were privileged to watch the amazing volunteers from Wildlife Sense as they carefully excavated hatchling nests and released the beautiful baby turtles into the ocean - we got loads of amazing shots and ticked a major "must do before I die" off the bucket list. A magical animal encounter with an endangered species. Sadly only 1 in 1000 babies make it to adulthood

We were shooting in Chelmsford yesterday at the Essex County Council offices creating a promo video for a pilot training scheme on educating council staff on Water Literacy and how to promote water conservation. Some great tips and tricks learned on how to save water and some concerning statistics"By 2030 the demand for water will outstrip supply"!!
