Case Study - BBC Bitesize History
BBC Bitesize commissioned us to create a series of 29 short documentary films designed to support pupils studying history in Scotland. The project aimed to produce engaging, educational content tailored to the National 4/5 and Higher syllabus, making complex historical concepts accessible and memorable for students.
Each film blends original archive material, stock footage, live-action elements, and motion graphics to create a dynamic, visually cohesive series. The use of onscreen text and animated graphics highlights key terms and concepts, ensuring that the content is both engaging and highly effective as a revision resource.
Education Marketing
With budgets under increasing pressure across the education sector, we understand the need for educational institutions to improve student recruitment. We also understand the unique challenges of working within busy schools, colleges and universities.
Our crew are used to working with children and young people, are DBS checked and have received NSPCC safeguarding training.
Case Study: Exeter College
Over the past few years, we’ve collaborated with Exeter College on numerous projects to promote their diverse range of courses. One highlight was producing a TV commercial for their Higher Technical Courses, showcasing real students and teachers from various disciplines in dynamic, live-action footage. The advert aired on television and was widely shared online, successfully increasing course enrollment while enhancing the college’s overall visibility and reputation.
Case Study - Exeter School
We’ve created films showcasing every aspect of Exeter School, from the vibrant Sixth Form to their charming Pre-Prep. The Pre-Prep promotional video, shot over a few sunny days in the summer of 2024, utilised high-end anamorphic prime lenses to deliver a cinematic, polished look.
Producing work like this is always a rewarding experience. Video is an incredibly powerful tool for highlighting the unique strengths of a school, whether in the state or private sector.
Case Study: University of Exeter
Over the past few years, we have produced over 300 films for the University of Exeter, highlighting their diverse range of graduate and postgraduate programs. Partnering closely with the University’s marketing and campaigns teams, we’ve consistently delivered high-quality work across various video formats, from engaging short promos to in-depth documentaries.
As the demand for international student recruitment has grown, we’ve supported the University’s efforts by creating compelling content shot in locations as far-afield as China and India.
