We film interview videos most weeks and last week was no exception. We found ourselves over in West London filming some interview videos for Harley Street Executive. We didn’t have a huge space for this set-up but we still managed to dress the set and open the curtains on the windows to give us some depth and colour in the shot. We had a very quick turnaround on these videos so they were straight into post production with delivery being just a week away from the filming day.

Earlier in the month I was over at Kingscross station in London filming some new video content for London North Eastern Railway. LNER have a new fleet of faster and more efficient Azuma trains running from London Kingscross. We actually filmed an interview on the station platform which had its challenges in terms of sound but my sound man Mark managed to get a really crisp and clean audio recording. The video is now live on the London North Easter Railway website and social media channels.

We’ve just finished up a large video project in London for a lash serum company called Uk Lash. We filmed this video project in an East London Studio with a large focus on the fun aspect of the brand which we reflected through the movements and actions of the models. We ended up creating a very unique video that not only showcases what the product does but also reflects the personality of the brand. The video is now live on our portfolio page and you can see a few still form the video projects on this page.

I had the privilege to attend the Royal Hospital in West London earlier in week to film the prestigious Founders Day. Founders day celebrates the founding of the Royal Hospital by King Charles II and this year also coincided with the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. It was a real pleasure to film some of the pensioners, six of whom were from the Normandy Landings. We’re creating a short highlight video of the event for the Royal Hospital which we will be cutting together over the next month or so.
