Projects are only as strong as their foundations and we pride ourselves on ensuring research, scripts, access, contributors and casting are all rock solid before production begins. We also assemble the best and most efficient team to deliver the final piece. Here, in an all-important recce, we map out the beach arena prior to our filming in Ryde for BBC1’s Island Pride UK.

We shoot on the island and, of course, further afield. In Kenya, we worked with Water Aid and Plan International to make a film about an extraordinary community initiative to save lives. Across the world, three children under five die every minute from diseases caused by poor sanitation and filthy water. We spent two weeks filming with people living in the slums of Nairobi and out in the jungle to create the award-winning documentary, The Last Taboo.

The edit suite is where the magic happens and it’s when the final project comes together after the raw footage has been sorted, reviewed and selected. Here, we are then able to introduce all the elements to make a truly memorable viewing experience for the audience. Music, graphics, sound effects, picture grading and audio dubbing all add to the story and its all-important structure, built on those secure foundations.
