Sharing stories of hope: St Anns Hospice

St Ann’s Hospice has been a client of ours since 2019, so when we heard they were building a new and improved site (right next door to the old one!) we were super excited to be involved. Like a lot of our clients, St Ann’s is a charity that relies heavily on fundraising and donations […]

Girl Guides: more than just cookies

We LOVE it! Literally had goosebumps watching it, it’s awesome. WAGGGS, AKA the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, has been a client of ours since the height of lockdown in early 2021. The difference this time around is that we actually got to do some filming ourselves. Our previous video projects for […]

How we crammed a three-day festival into six minutes

It was a privilege to be a part of the Ripples of Hope Festival 2021, a mind-blowing event that explored human rights from every angle over five busy days.

Alongside a major rebrand, the organisation approached us to produce an explainer video that demonstrates what they’re about.

How to devise a video content strategy for charities

We often find that charities and non-profit organisations struggle to justify spending time and money on content marketing, video included. After all, you and your supporters rightly want to maximise the amount of resource that’s going to where it’s needed most. They don’t want to see donated money wasted on half-hearted Facebook charity videos. However, […]

10 brilliant examples of video content in the third sector

Like all good creatives, we’re always learning. For us that includes always being on the lookout for exceptional video production. It inspires us, challenges us, and helps us decide what ideas might work (or not) for our clients. Charities and arts organisations make up the bulk of the video content we produce, so we asked […]

Remote editing: the new normal

Throughout my career, I’ve always done a combination of filming my own content and editing what other people have filmed. Right now, the latter is pretty much all I’m doing. The big challenge for me hasn’t been the editing itself, it’s been the lack of creative and technical control that comes with it. When I […]
