What a few days it’s been! Last year, we had the privilege of working on an ambitious campaign film for G4S with the amazing team at Creed Comms. It was one of those whirlwind projects full of creativity, long hours, and incredibly rewarding moments. Two packed shoot days at stunning locations, a fantastic crew, and plenty of filmmaking magic all came together—and honestly, it’s safe to say the hard work paid off.
Before we even picked up a camera, we spent time working closely with Creed Comms to make sure every detail of the campaign aligned with G4S’s vision. From carefully planning the storyboards to locking in the perfect locations, we wanted every frame to feel intentional and tell a story.
Massive thanks to UK Locations for helping us secure the beautiful house in Chorlton. It was such a perfect setting—warm, full of character, and just what we needed to add that personal touch to the film. Then there was Turf Moor in Burnley, which brought such a striking and cinematic backdrop to some of our standout moments. Together, the locations gave us the balance of grandeur and intimacy we were aiming for.
The shoot itself? Non-stop. Two back-to-back 12-hour days of filming meant big efforts all around, but when you’re surrounded by such an awesome team, it doesn’t feel like work. The energy on set was incredible—whether we were capturing dramatic, sweeping shots at Turf Moor or creating those cozy, story-driven moments in Chorlton, everyone brought their A-game.
We were so lucky to have an incredible crew to make it all happen: a brilliant director, producer, DOP, camera assistant, runner, HMUA, and four talented actors/models. Add a supportive client and plenty of good vibes, and it became one of those sets where everything just clicked. Sure, it was exhausting, but when you’re laughing between takes and feeding off everyone’s enthusiasm, it’s the kind of project that reminds you why you love this work.
For visuals, we leaned into the best gear for the job: the Sony FX6 paired with a 50mm G-Master Prime lens and a 1/8 black pro mist filter. That combo gave us such stunning results—sharp where it mattered but with a softer, cinematic edge that really suited the tone we were going for. The highlight roll-off was just beautiful, and every shot had this polished, professional finish. Whether it was wide, epic scenes or emotional close-ups, the footage had us buzzing when we reviewed it. Hero shots have honestly never looked so good!
Fast forward to today, and the film is finished—and we couldn’t be happier. Post-production tied everything together so perfectly, turning all those hours of planning and shooting into something we’re really proud of. Best of all, the client was thrilled with the final campaign. Seeing their excitement and knowing it hit the mark for G4S has been the ultimate reward.
Looking back, this shoot was a perfect mix of teamwork, creativity, and a lot of hard graft. Sure, it had its long days and challenges, but the laughs, the collaboration, and the final result made it one of the most rewarding projects we’ve ever worked on.
Huge thanks to everyone who played a part in this—from the crew to the talent, Creed Comms, UK Locations, and all the behind-the-scenes heroes. We couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to the next one!
