🚀 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Since March 2025, we’ve been collaborating with the University of Hull on an ambitious creative project; a series of eight cinematic one-minute adverts capturing the heart of their newly rebranded identity.

From 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 through 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to final post, we worked side-by-side with UoH to authentically showcase their world-class faculties, innovative courses, and real student experiences.

To bring that authenticity to life, we didn’t cast actors, 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 still on their courses, ensuring every moment felt genuine and relatable.

Filmed on our 𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, the visuals deliver the high-end quality the University sought, perfectly aligned with their bold new brand.

This week, we wrapped the post-production process , fine-tuning every frame, colour grading to perfection, and bringing each story to life. The BTS shots you’ll see here are a glimpse into that creative finishing stage.

We’re proud to have partnered on every stage of this journey, delivering premium, high-impact content that reflects the University of Hull’s commitment to excellence.

📺 The campaign launches soon — we can’t wait for you to see it.

We’re currently in production on a bespoke brand film commemorating 100 years of John King Chains, a globally respected name in British manufacturing.

To film the interviews, we’re using green screen production techniques , not just for visual flair, but for thoughtful practicality:

✅ It allows us to film in a controlled, quiet space — creating a comfortable environment for our interviewees, without disrupting day-to-day operations at their HQ.
✅ In post, we design iconic, on-brand visual backdrops that feel relevant, immersive, and visually elevated.

The result? A film that honours the past, excites the present, and inspires the future, all crafted from concept to delivery with precision and heart.

If your brand has a story worth telling, we’ll help make sure it’s remembered.

We recently partnered with the brilliant team at Helm WMS to produce a fast-paced, visually striking online advert that shows just how effective their warehouse logistics software can be.

From scriptwriting, location scouting, and casting, to shooting on RED V-Raptor with DZO lenses and adding clean, modern motion graphics – this was full-scale production at its best. Think Shopify-style visuals, fast edits, and a tight narrative.

📦 Helm WMS is more than just a system – it’s a smart, scalable solution designed to streamline warehouse operations, reduce costs, and give businesses full control of their supply chain. Results? Visible in under 24 hours.

At Astor, we specialise in turning complex tech into compelling stories that actually connect. If you’re looking to breathe life into your software or digital product, let’s talk.

At Astor, we’re always evolving our toolkit to stay ahead creatively and technically. Our new DJI Focus Pro LiDAR Range Finder is a massive leap forward for both flexibility and focus performance.

✅ Laser precise autofocus with 76,800 ranging points for tracking accuracy up to 20 m
✅ AI enhanced subject detection to track faces and movement in both wide and flex modes
✅ Cine lens compatibility allows us to bring autofocus to manual glass, enabling fluid transitions and dynamic shots
✅ Smart control with preloaded lens profiles, iris and zoom adjustment, and real time waveform monitoring via the Focus Pro Grip

This system gives us complete confidence on fast-paced shoots and opens up creative focus control that previously needed large crews. It’s ideal for interviews, branded content and cinematic storytelling.

At Astor, we’re proud to invest in the latest production tools so our clients benefit from the highest visual standards and the strongest return on investment.

At Astor, we’re all about raising the bar with precision gear, expert crews and a deep passion for the craft.

At Astor, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-end, cinematic documentary setups, and our recent work with the University of Hull on a palliative care research project is a great example of that craft in action.

This project involved recording interviews both on site in the UK and remotely with contributors in Australia, combining technical precision with a sensitive, human approach to storytelling. From lighting intimate spaces with warmth and clarity to ensuring seamless visuals across continents, we’ve fine-tuned our process to bring out the best in every interview.

Great documentary work isn’t just about hitting record, it’s about creating a space where people feel comfortable, respected, and visually represented in a way that reflects the importance of their voice.

If you’re producing research content, case studies, or documentary material, we’ve got the tools, the team, and the experience to elevate your story.

🎬 Day 3 on Reparation – what a ride!

We packed an incredible amount into one shoot day, tackling everything from soft, early morning scenes to golden sunset shots and rich, moody night setups. A day full of creative challenges, lighting changes, and visual storytelling, what we captured feels like a cinematic masterpiece in the making.

Massive well done to the entire cast and crew for powering through with such skill and commitment. This kind of work is only possible when everyone brings their A-game and you all delivered.

Directed by our very own Jordan Dean, with a compelling script by John Lawless & Matt Luty.

Shot on our trusted RED camera systems, nothing like seeing the vision come to life through such powerful tools.

Here’s a peek behind the scenes 📸

Two epic days. One modern, creative concept. 💡

We’ve just wrapped filming a cinematic advert for the Midwifery course at University of Hull, using top-tier production gear to capture the heart of the course in a bold, student-focused way.

What made this shoot extra special? We had TV & Film Production students shadowing us on set; gaining real-world experience on a professional project. 🎬👏

This is part of an 8-film series we're creating for UoH, each one crafted to speak directly to future students through powerful, authentic storytelling.

We create cinematic content for the education sector that actually connects. If you're ready to make your courses stand out – let's talk.

Earlier this year, we travelled to Blackbourn, a small Suffolk town best known for its peaceful countryside and home to the Blackbourn Rovers Stadium, to film a case study with Direct Courier Solutions.

We explored how they’re using the Haulage Exchange platform to power their operations. What we discovered was eye-opening: you can run a full-scale haulage business without owning a single vehicle, all thanks to the HX software from Transport Exchange Group (TEG).

Even better? You could manage it from anywhere, yes, even from the stands of Blackbourn Rovers Stadium. 🚚💻
