Sonic Bothy CIC – Funding video
Following previous work recording performances for Sonic Bothy in 2022, they engaged us in gathering more material at workshops and projects across the organizations over a 6 month period. We documented activities, interviewed key staff and participants and recorded important musical performances. They wanted to show the importance of their work enabling disabled people to learn, engage with and perform experimental music and become musical artists themselves.
With extensive family experience of disability and professional experience as a workshop facilitator for people with additional support needs, I was a good fit to engage with the great variety of people at Sonic Bothy’s many projects and workshops. Working closely with Creative Director Atzi Mirumatsu and the team, a carefully crafted film brought together all the voices and projects they wished to highlight to put across their mission.
The film was launched at the end of 2024 and was a core component of their new funding campaign. We were delighted to learn in January 2025 that it was incredibly successful, bringing in over £15k in the first weeks and ultimately leading to multi-year funding from Creative Scotland, securely the long term future of the organization and enabling a new era of growth and expansion. We were delighted that this film could be a valuable part of that success and are excited for our upcoming work with Sonic Bothy in 2025.
FORM Design – Website banner loop & company explainer film
With extensive experience in the design and construction industries, it was a natural fit for us to help FORM design tell their story of human-centric, eco-friendly workplace design.
We designed an efficient shoot, with our drone pilot, our steadicam operator and myself, David, so we could efficiently and vibrantly collect footage of the workplace, their recent projects and interviews with the team. From this shoot we were able to deliver a new looping silent background video for their website, which can be seen here. We were also able to deliver a film explaining what’s at the core of FORM design as a company, which can be seen below. This film was also edited into smaller chunks for further use, delivered in widescreen aspect ratio for web and in vertical aspect ratio for social media.
Scottish Library and Information Council – Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools
In creating this film for Scottish Libraries, we filmed in Moray, East Lothian, South Lanarkshire, Glasgow City and the Isle of Arran (North Ayrshire), visiting school libraries all across Scotland to tell the story of why school libraries have been in important and need to remain at the heart of schools around the country. We worked with library staff, school staff and young people, fitting interviews and filming around school and library schedules.
British Antarctic Survey – Seabird Sentinels, Albatross in South Georgia and beyond.
British Antarctic Survey is a vital part of the UK’s scientific research community and we were delighted to travel to Cambridge in England to help them pull together this video. Launching a paper on the risks fishing vessels pose to wandering Albatross, this film gave Ana Carneiro, Marine Science Manager at BirdLife International and lead author of the paper and her co-author Dr Richard Phillips the chance to express themselves the importance of this research.
Bike Hub @ IncludeMe2Club – Bike Loan Scheme launch video
Include Me 2 Club is a multi-million pound charity making a huge impact on the lives of people across the Greater Glasgow area. In this video their ‘Bike Hub’ showcases their new electric bike loan scheme, which they launched with this video. They went on to have incredible success: huge engagement, 100% capacity, influx of related sales/income and an award won for success on the project.
We’re currently working on a follow-up to this video and we continue to enjoy working with IncludeMe2Club, as we have for the last five years.
SCENE.scot – workshop to finished site with waterfall sink
The people at SCENE wanted to show the careful work and high craftsmanship involved in their bespoke interior fit out work. We produced a series of videos for them where we followed an object from its initial plans to production on the workshop floor to final installation on site. In the video below we followed the journey of a white solid surface waterfall sink, being produced for an office block in Glasgow city centre.
We also worked with CEO Iain Munro to produce a blog style video with his involvement where he documented the process of turning two old mountain gondolas from the Nevis Range at Ben Nevis into two reception desk pieces for the entrance lobby of their brand new hotel and shop facility, which SCENE were doing the interior fit out for. See below as he talks about taking these two rusted hulks, rescued off the side of the mountain and how they went all the way to being back at Nevis Range, serving as the reception desk and the other as a DJ booth.
