We faced all kinds of challenges when we undertook one of the latest video projects for our major client, Ceva Santé Animale, the global veterinary health organisation.

Ceva had sponsored the prestigious Uppsala Health Summit in Sweden and had also commissioned a study on the use of therapy dogs in Swedish schools showing that not
only does animal intervention lead to better behaviour and academic performance among school pupils on the autism spectrum but it can also save health and education authorities valuable funds.

The challenge for us was the fact that it was impossible to get into Sweden due to Covid restrictions so we came up with a ‘cunning plan’.

Working on Zoom and other online meeting portals, we were able to record a series of interviews connected with the Summit and the study. We then edited these with some of the vast library of images that we and Ceva have built on this subject and the result was a colourful and dynamic video.

In fact the organisers of the Summit liked the video so much, that they decided to use it during the event itself. See the video here:

We acquired AquaSpira as a brand new client in 2021 and they are just the sort of business that the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference are trying to promote as they make a significant contribution to carbon reduction in the field where they operate.

Our first assignment with the business was to produce a fast-moving video to explain their company at the 2021 Rail Live convention held in the UK:

Aquaspira is on course to deliver on ambitious targets to reduce embodied carbon by half, with its sights set on a zero-carbon product by the end of the decade.

A six-figure investment into R&D is already paying dividends with Aquaspira boasting its first drainage product using 20 per cent recycled material. Heavy investment has already been committed to a new research laboratory which is already up and running.

The company is a specialist manufacturer of large diameter drainage pipes working in close partnership with the University of Birmingham and the UKCRIC National Buried Infrastructure Facility, to develop a lower carbon smart pipe for sustainable large-scale buried infrastructure projects.

The research has the potential to make a significant step-change in helping the construction sector achieve Government de-carbonisation targets. It will explore the use of recycled materials for storm and drainage water pipes and the backfill required for their installation, as well as incorporating innovative sensing equipment for long-term asset monitoring.

We recorded Volition’s latest financial results, connecting to key directors through online links but using our wealth of video content shot with this dynamic company to bring the results ‘alive’.

Our videos are being used to explain a major plan to redevelop the Jealotts Hill science park. They are featured throughout a special microsite (see image) and include a series of film reports explaining the project, the vision for the science park and also addressing some of the concerns of local residents.

Jealott’s Hill International Research Centre has grown over the last 90-years and is the largest commercial research facility in the UK dedicated to agri-tech.

This exciting project will secure the future of Jealott’s Hill as a world-leading science and innovation park with Syngenta as the anchor institution. The company will be part of a collaborative cluster delivering vital work to help tackle climate change, sustainable food production, water and resource management and clean energy.

You can see one of the video reports here:

This would be at the heart of a vibrant and sustainable garden village with new homes, including affordable housing, as well as education, healthcare, leisure facilities, shops, services and a transformed transport network.

Biodiversity gain would be achieved across the site, rich with new habitat opportunities. The development will provide access for the first time into more than 115 acres of green spaces. This includes a country park, woodland and recreation space.

The proposals will safeguard the 850 jobs at Jealott’s Hill and create thousands more, significantly improving the economic prospects of the area. It will help to address productivity challenges, transform economic prosperity and bring about the step change needed to position Bracknell Forest at the heart of a thriving, productive Thames Valley Berkshire economy, providing a strategic focus for housing and business growth in the Borough.

Imagine a simple blood test that could pick up on the early stages of cancer; despite the Covid crisis, our client Volition has been working so hard to make this a reality and with the continued release of positive data and the launch of their first product, it is getting closer.
