Video making has come a long long way since Hollywood first started producing talkies a century ago. The days are gone where vans of crew, cast and equipment would turn up to film a shoot. Freelancers can go out and film great video content by themselves or with just one extra pair of hands. This […]
Like all good creatives, we’re always learning. For us that includes always being on the lookout for exceptional video production. It inspires us, challenges us, and helps us decide what ideas might work (or not) for our clients. Charities and arts organisations make up the bulk of the video content we produce, so we asked […]

It’s been one of Studio 91’s biggest projects to date, and one that will hopefully have a far-reaching legacy. Tiny Happy People wants to […]
We do gritty, not glossy. We do people, not products. We do storytelling, not selling. We do real, we do raw, we do social video with purpose. This is the third version of our showreel, which we’ve refreshed annually since 2018 to show the most recent video content we’ve produced. But this is the first […]
If you haven’t heard of BBC Ten Pieces, you’re missing out. Here’s how we worked with them on some fantastic video content to make sure all children are included in the great work they do.
