This time, we’re talking about something that makes all the difference in authentic storytelling: throwing the script out the window. ✨

When we worked with partnered up with our fantastic clients; at the recent , one of the biggest learnings we shared was simple but powerful – the best stories happen when people forget the camera is there.

Our approach always centres around putting people at ease, starting a real conversation, and let those very human moments flow. Before long the nerves fade (trust us, they do!)

That’s when you get those lines that stay with you, because they’re real, unpolished, and universally resonant.

How do you create space for unscripted truth in your comms work? 👇 We’d love to hear.

✈️ 🎥 We’re kicking off our new series, Cloud9Media’s International Shoot Survival Guide. First up, Duncan shares his must-have essentials and golden rules…

From first-aid kits to hard drives (and yes, the “never eat sushi on shoot day” rule 🍣), Duncan’s learned that preparation IS EVERYTHING.

Sure, our kit bags are packed with cameras and lenses, but the real magic of international filming comes down to the unglamorous stuff: logistics, paperwork, contacts, and planning for the unexpected. That’s how we keep shoots running smoothly across Africa, Asia, and Europe, and why our clients can relax knowing we’ve got the details covered.

👉 Swipe through for Duncan’s first reflections, then tell us – what’s the one thing you always pack (or never do) when you’re travelling for work?

🎬 Introducing our Lessons Live From series!

Recently at , we teamed up with our brilliant clients at to show how smart video storytelling can spark connection, reveal truth, and create lasting impact.

Next up in the series: When you film once and cut smart 🤓

Your website should be the home of your video, where the full story lives. But social media is where you can grab attention fast.

We shoot in 16x9 (YouTube-ready) while keeping it 9x16-safe, so we can reframe for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or teaser clips without losing the magic. One shoot = endless content.

What do you think? Have you ever filmed once and made it work everywhere?

👇 Drop your thoughts below or DM us to find out how we make one shoot go the distance.

FIRST WEEK BACK AT SCHOOL DONE ✅

Wait – we mean work, not school! But doesn’t the first week of September always bring those back-to-school vibes?

Amidst the madness of our team being back together for the first time in what feels like ages, we took a moment to reflect on the lessons learned and perspectives gained.

From Greek islands and festival fields to rediscovering the joy of going off-grid and finding beauty in the everyday, each of us has taken something from the summer that will shape how we approach the season ahead.

Have a read of our team’s reflections, and take this as your reminder that sometimes the smallest moments spark the biggest resets.

What’s your September reset?

We had a perfect interview planned when our interviewee said: “No. Not doing that.”

But we persuaded her to put on a mic anyway, and followed her lead.

The result? One of our best stories yet.

That’s the Cloud9 way!

What does your perfect world look like? 🌍✨

At Earthfest, we handed people our “magic glasses” and asked them to imagine their dream future. The result? A joyful, hopeful film full of sights, smells and sounds from the world we all long for.

Hope starts with imagination, and these conversations reminded us just how powerful that can be.
