Back in June, The Leyland Town Team hired us to produce this short highlights from Leyland Festival. It was a scorching day in Leyland town for the parade and once we arrived at Worden Park for the music and festivities, the party was in full swing.
Preston Event Videographer
The Encounter Festival 2023 took place throughout Preston over a full weekend. Packed with local performers and artists, it certainly was a feast for the eyes and ears. The Harris Museum contacted us to follow the action.

The wedding team at Bashall Barn asked us to produce this video to showcase their venue and family. We spent the day gathering footage of this wonderful building and also interviewing the team.
The team at Outwork Studios hired us to produce a series of Promotional Videos for their client, DIGS. Above is one dedicated to internationals. We spoke to real students who talked about their experiences when arriving to a new country and how welcoming the folks at DIGS are. ‘Moving away from home can be daunting, so we’re here to make sure that you have the best possible university experience whilst living in the U.K. At DIGS, we have a diverse community with students from over 48 countries living with us, so you can be guaranteed that you’ll feel right at home’

Feeding Futures Event Video at The Whitworth Gallery in Manchester.
The team at In Certain Places hired us to produce a number of videos for their Feeding Futures Event which was held at The Whitworth Gallery in Manchester.
Along with the highlights video above, we also produced 4 full length presentation videos for their website and on a separate filming slot, produced a video called Missed, by performance artist Krissi Musiol.

The day included talks by Dr Joanna Wolfarth, design researcher Sally Sutherland, and breastfeeding councillor and doula Louise Oliver.
As part of the Harris Your Place, which will see the museum close until 2024, they hired us to produce a couple of short films. The first, which had Cllr. Kelly from Preston Council handing over the ceremonial keys to Michael Conlon from Conlon Construction. Artist, Gavin Renshaw was commissioned to create a Mural that would be displayed in front of the Harris whilst works continued. Below is a short video from the opening event.
We produced quite a number of videos for schools around the Northwest during the lockdown periods and honestly thought they would settle down a little now that restrictions have been lifted. Luckily for us, we were wrong. It seems that they have really taken off! Here are a few examples of what we have been working on this year.

Late last year we joined the team at The Harris Museum to take care of their Photography & Videography for web and social media purposes. The contract was for 12 months to see them through to September 2021 when they will be closing down for major renovation’s and repairs for which our work would assist in receiving grants from The National Lottery. And guess what? They received all the money!!!
During the last 6 months we have worked on so many projects with The Harris and we’d just like to share some of our favorite’s with you on this blog.
Black History Month
Preston Videography
For this years Black History Month we produced a number of short videos with people in the community and their relationship with both the Harris and Preston.
Chinese New Year
Preston Videography
For the Chinese New Year, we produced approximately 15 videos with activities and cultural information with the help of The Confucius Institute at Uclan.
Camp in the Collection
Possibly our favorite collaborations with The Harris would be Camp in the Collection. Camp enthusiast, actor, screenwriter and thoroughly nice chap Harry Clayton-Wright takes us on tour of the museum and reveals how much ‘Camp’ is on display.

Harris Live
During the Lockdown, the Harris invited musicians to put on a short set for online purposes. For this we had a multi-camera set up with a sound technician to take care of all the audio. Here are a few short examples from a selections of the shows.
It has been great working with all the team so far, so many different projects have really introduced us to a wider community of talented people, its been a real pleasure. If you would like to know more about what we can offer for your business then please get in touch.
Well, here we are, nearly a year into our visit from Covid-19, and still no clear end in sight. During the summer of 2020, our Government warned us that those in ‘None Viable’ employment should look at retraining. Although we totally understood their advice, we were not accepting that yet as our first option. Our wedding side of the business had obviously been destroyed, the commercial side was slowly feeding us during the summer but what about when we get into winter, what if this Corona thing was going to outstay its welcome?
Having been self-employed for many years, we were not totally up to date with the Job Hunting Market and how it worked, so we’d casually type into to Linkedin or random sites ‘Videography-Lancashire-Manchester’ and surprise surprise, there was a small number of posts wanting full or part-time videographers as part of their team. After an hour of reading these, I realized that although we are in a worldwide crisis…
These positions landed just at the right time, we got to work in a creative environment on many projects over the first few months and it has definitely made us think about collaborating with other agencies in the future. As a business, we became very insular and just plodded along producing similar content throughout the year and it has also given us a little more time to just enjoy our craft on a personal basis as well, after all, we were enthusiastic camera operators before we started getting paid for it. Just as an example, here is a small project we worked on during Lockdown 3 in our hometown of Leyland.
2020 has been a very challenging year for all the wonderful Staff, Nurses, Volunteers and many others who work in the Health and Social Care sector. We have been working with a number of Charities/Hospices and care groups over the Lockdown period to help promote them and offer alternative, online productions of their events.
Wigan & Leigh Hospice hired us on 2 occasions this year to produce an ‘online service’ for family and friends of those who had sadly passed. Usually, people would be able to visit the grounds, walk through the wooded area and attend a small remembrance service but with the current restrictions, that has been impossible.
At the end of the year, they asked for something similar to cover their Light for a Life service.
Pelican Care Group hired us to create a series of videos for their web and social media pages to promote what they provide for vulnerable children and young adults. For this particular video, we interviewed the staff and spent the day with them around Southport & Formby.

During the lockdown period, we worked with a number of schools alongside Outwork Studio.
The brief was basically to produce an ‘Open Evening’ video for the parents and pupils who obviously were unable to look around the school and talk to the teachers and staff to get an idea of the facilities, ethos and general feel of what can be expected in this next stage in their education.
A combination of open shots of the interiors and exteriors, Aerial footage, interviews with staff and pupils all combined to create these videos.
Social distancing actually made the filming part of this process a lot easier than previous works in schools as they had minimal staff on site, hardly and pupils so we hardly had any restrictions and mostly had free reign of the classrooms.
