    PRE

    Pre-Production

    Assembling the right team for the project was critical, we were planning to work in a harsh environment during changeable weather. Pre-production was key in both approvals for filming, risk and method statements, logistics and kit prep.

    SHOOT

    Production

    What started as two to three days filming quickly turned into ten days. We had to be reactive and flexible whilst ensuring we delivered the best service we could as safely as possible.

    POST

    Post-Production

    The edit process was lengthy. Sifting through multiple cameras worth of footage shot from 10 shoot days took some time, we shot enough to produce a documentary and produced a 90 second and 30 second video edit for our client. We also delivered photo edits from each shoot day.
