Why be diverse? For us as a video production company it's about adapting to change, opening up to new markets and new opportunities, exposure to different creative challenges, expanding our reach and knowledge to build a stronger reputation as an organisation and above all demonstrating our versatility and scope of capabilities.

Over the last 12 months we've been fortunate enough to work with an incredible range of clients, in sectors we hadn't previously considered, but we are very much 'yes people' happy to rise to a challenge and seek opportunity to foster new perspectives! 🧰 🛠️ 😅 🎨 📹

Happy International Friendship Day Everyone! 👥

Let's celebrate those around us and take a moment to appreciate the role we all play. Today is a day dedicated to recognising and celebrating the importance of friendship between individuals, communities, and nations.

I've had the privilege of knowing and working alongside so many inspiring and creative individuals I'm blessed enough to call my friends.

Today isn't just about recognition for those close to us but also far, with an aim to foster peace and building bridges between different cultures through the power of friendship. 🤝

What do Next Step Films do....

Quite often I get asked, by friends or family - "what exactly does a video production company do?"

I sometimes ask myself this same question 😅 - the answer is simple but the landscape we tread is not.

At heart ❤️ we are visual storytellers, because we believe everyone has a story to tell. You could be a business, individual, organisation, brand or charity - each of these with their own complexities, narratives and agendas, however at their core all have a voice and a story to be told.

Each project we work on has its own identity and therefore requires a unique approach, and how we tell your story is up to you - but we have a toolset designed to help craft your story and engage with your audience. 🛠️ 🧰

Some of our tools include:

📹 Video is an incredibly powerful medium for storytelling because it engages multiple senses and allows for a dynamic presentation of narrative elements.

👓 Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are revolutionising storytelling by transforming passive observation into active, immersive participation. They fundamentally change how narratives are delivered, perceived, and experienced.

🎨 Animation offers a unique and incredibly versatile toolkit for storytelling, allowing creators to go beyond the limitations of live-action and craft narratives that are visually stunning, emotionally resonant, and deeply imaginative.

📸 Photography is an incredibly potent tool for storytelling because it captures a moment in time and distills a complex narrative into a single frame, or a series of frames.

📝 Creative writing is the foundational blueprint upon which all storytelling mediums (film, TV, theatre, games, novels, etc.) are built. They provide the structure, substance, and soul of a narrative.
