Having a run of short film ideas recently. And this is where A.I. can help and is also a little fun to help visualise.

Using Midjourney to create mood boards and treatments. But how close are we until it can make the full thing?

Let’s keep the ideas flowing… keep the brain going in the meantime 😳

Short horror/sci-fi

So happy to see ‘film festival laurels’ on our film for Marjan filmed for The Artistry House. Chosen along side some great films - and what a great festival it was.

Now to start planning another to enter next year!!

Manufacturing films are always a challenge, capturing the happenings on the go and without interrupting production too much. Then shooting in a busy city centre hotel with only using the various light sources available to us (albeit that was the product) and avoiding the guests... certainly keeps you on your toes. But the team at Chelsom where so great to work with, it made things go a whole lot smoother.

Campaign: Creativity Matters
Client:

Filmed as a follow-on from the success of 'Creativity Matters', a campaign to promote UCLan's Arts School and the importance of the creative industries to our national economy.

This time we pushed the concept to add a splash of colour, as we reveal some of the recent success stories to come out of the University's Arts School. It made for a lovely set of testimonial films with a twist, and some striking visuals.

'Your University City'

Our recent campaign for The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and Visit Sheffield has gone live today nationally across TV, cinema, OOH and social media.

The joint campaign celebrates what makes Sheffield such a fantastic student city and is aimed at encouraging future students to make Sheffield their academic home.

This is the first hero film from the wider campaign, so keep your eyes peeled for all the other creative content over the coming months.

When the first lock down happened and The Artistry House had to shut its doors, we started doing online interviews with various artists. However, it was always our intention to get out there into their studios and capture the artists in their more natural surroundings.

So here we are in his studio, introducing Iain.H.Williams.

Shot by Wash.

Who said electric can't be exciting? Thanks to Porsche Kendal for letting us film this wonderful piece of engineering. A small reactive crew, a long afternoons work and a load of fun. Coming out of lock down and getting our film heads working again.

Hope it goes well for our friends in Silverdale at Holgates in getting back to some sort of normality today. This short film we did a few weeks ago felt a little sad not seeing any people there. But we're sure that will change now. Go and enjoy yourself!
